Windows Media Player 11 SDK About the Player Object 

About the Player Object

The Player object is the core object for the Windows Media Player control. All other related objects are connected to this object through specific properties that return the object. For example, the Settings object is accessed through the settings property. The Player object provides methods, properties, and events that relate to the core functionality of Windows Media Player.

Because this reference is also to be used for skins programming, the ID of the Player object will be "player" for syntax examples.

Using the player global attribute within a skin definition file gives access to the Player object for use in scripting. Through the Player object, all other objects in the Windows Media Player control become accessible to scripts as well. The events of the Player object and the URL property can also be specified at design time using the PLAYER skin element. For more information, see Windows Media Player Skins.
