How to talk to our videoplayer with javascript - Blog on the Run

To get a reference to the Bits on the Run player use this code snippet:

<script language="javascript">
 var player;
 function playerReady(obj) {
  if(navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1) {
   player =  window[obj.id];
  } else {
   player =  document[obj.id];
  }
 }
</script>

Next, refer to the following page on the API implemented in the player here

This example of how to use the functions in the API documentation demonstrates how to use the PLAY command:

function foo() {
 player.sendEvent('PLAY',true);
}
