Script the SWF player

    • stevel

    Does the SWF player support external scripting? Specifically I'd like to be able to, from JS, trigger play/pause of the video as well as add listeners/observers to be triggered based on the state of the player.

    Something similar to what YouTube or Yahoo Music have for their respective video players:

    cheers,

    Hey Steve,
    We've had a number of requests for a Javascript API. It's certainly on our radar, but we don't have it available, yet.

    Thanks for checking out the API.

    One more vote for a Javascript API. I know this is already on your radar, just want to reiterate that there is high demand for this so hopefully it will be a high priority.

    Thanks,
    Tim

    Just posted the documentation for our JavaScript player controls over here:

    We'll have a sample page up soon, too.
