Documentation: JavaScript API

To use the java script api of the player we have coded a simple class in javascript that you can download jarisflvplayer.js. Also you need to pass the flash variable jsapi with a value of 1 or true in order to expose the api functions.

1. You will need to include the script file on your page like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jarisflvplayer.js"></script>

2. Create your function listeners and initialize the interface to add them

//Catches all the events triggered by the player
function onAll(data){
    alert(data.type);
}

//Triggers when the playback ends
function onComplete(data){
    alert("playback has finished");
}

//Initialize the player interface
player = new JarisFLVPlayer("Id_Of_Player_Object");
player.addListener(JarisFLVPlayer.event.ON_ALL, "onAll");
player.addListener(JarisFLVPlayer.event.PLAYBACK_FINISHED, "onComplete");
