The Javascript API comes with all the tools you need to control the playback of the applet including stop, start, pause, mute, zoom etc... You can also change which video is being played through the applet without having to reload the page.
Build Custom Reports
Javascript commands can be queued for when actions such as start, stop or pause are invoked. This can be used to build custom reports that register whether or not a video was viewed, played all the way through etc...
