I have the player embedded in a webpage with all controls turned off (all you can see is the video). If I click on the player, the video stops. if I then click again, it starts. Is there anyway to override that? Even better, is there a way to get the coordinates for the click returned? Thanks!
You can’t override the click behavior, but you can get the coordinates of the click in JavaScript by using the ClickProxy plugin (http://www.longtailvideo.com/addons/plugins/68/Clickproxy).
This is very helpful: In implementing it however, I'm running into a problem. I've got the following javascript function setup:
function clickListener(obj) {
alert(document.getElementById(obj['id']));
};
An alert box pops up when I click on the control, but it says "null". I've got a similar function setup:
function playerReady(obj) {
alert(document.getElementById(obj['id']));
};
and it will say [object] in the alert box. What am I doing wrong on the "ClickListener" event? I can't get a reference to the object that was clicked.
Test Page with the Clickproxy plugin functioning with a v5.2.1148 JW Player here:

Thank you! I'm finding that the "ID" is returning 0 for each control on the page. For the PlayerReady function, "obj['id']" returns the ID of the object. However, the clicklistener function returns 0. Is "ID" not supported in the same way for clicklistener?
Actually, just figured it out. I set the ID in the Flashvars and I am good now. Thanks!
I'm having the same problem. I have 2 playlists on a page and I need to get their id. Unfortunately, the player code is being created by wordTube (a WordPress plugin). Can anyone help me pass the id to a javascript function?
Here's an example from the page source:
<script type="text/javascript" defer="defer">
var WT1_1 = {
params : {
wmode : "opaque",
allowscriptaccess : "always",
allownetworking : "all"},
flashvars : {
file : "http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mysite.com%2Fvideos%2Findex.php%3Fxspf%3Dtrue%26id%3D1",
volume : "80",
bufferlength : "5",
quality : "false",
'logo.hide' : "false",
plugins : "clickproxy",
id : "video_player",
shuffle : "false",
playlist : "bottom"},
attr : {
id : "WT1",
name : "WT1"},
start : function() {
swfobject.embedSWF("http://www.mysite.com/videos/wp-content/uploads/player-licensed.swf", "WT1_1", "240", "400", "9.0.0", false, this.flashvars, this.params , this.attr );
}
}
WT1_1.start();
</script>
One note on the code above, WT1 changes with each playlist you create (i.e.: WT2, WT3, etc.).
Here is what I would like to do:
<script type="text/javascript">
function clickListener(obj) {
var player_id = document.getElementById(obj['id']);
if (player_id == 1) {
window.open('http://www.THISsites.com');
} else {
window.open('http://www.THATsites.com');
}
</script>
Not quite sure what you mean, Zach. I'm using clickproxy. When the user clicks on the video, I want to direct them to a site.
I realize I can't have a separate link for each video. So, I thought of creating two playlists with different ids, one for each site.
Dear Zach,
A thousand blessings on your house!!!!! That is EXACTLY what I needed! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
