    Hello-

    I am new and have some questions on all this, which looks awesome btw :)

    How much content is available? Specifically videos, how far back to they go, etc.
    Is there a limit to the number of requests I can make a day to the api?
    Is there any way to know when a video is over other than setting a timer based on its duration?
    Does the video player throw any events?

    Thanks in advance for your time guys :)

    Kevin, we're making a large selection of music videos available through the API. The exact number is changing all the time and based on a variety of factors.

    We are enforcing queries per second and queries per day limits. The exact numbers are still in flux. Once we have a gauge of API traffic we'll publicize the limits in the documentation.

    Many, many folks have requested JavaScript access to the player. It's our number one priority right now. Once we have it available it'll be documented here.

    Thanks!

    The JavaScript controls are now available. We've documented them here:

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

    Isuru,
    I believe you need to set Security.allowInsecureDomain in your SWF.

    Hope that helps!

    thank you very much for reply.
    its work perfectly in normal flash but not in Adobe Air.

    Isuru,

    While I don't recommend loading the player into Air. If you are curious you should read this document on the Air security model.
