WebVTT attributes only working in html5, not in flash


When I set up a jwplayer with a webvtt closed captioning track, tracks like this:

00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:08.000 align:start
(Howling blizzard)

only show up in html5, but in flash such captions do not show. I have tested this on the latest Chrome and Safari browsers for Mac with the latest flash installed and jwplayer 6.12. The same caption without additional attributes, like

00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:08.000
(Howling blizzard)

works on both. I want to be able to set the caption width and other attributes as specified in WebVTT on both flash and html5. The .vtt files are loaded from the local server and are clearly available and do not have cross-site issues, as other captions in the same file show up fine.

How can I use WebVTT caption attributes in flash?
