PLAYER Element

The PLAYER element lets you define event handlers and specify the URL property of the Player object at design time within a skin definition file. Within script code, the Player object is accessed through the player global attribute rather than through a name specified by an id attribute, which is not supported by the PLAYER element.

The PLAYER element supports the following attribute.

Attribute Description
URL Specifies or retrieves the name of the file to play.
