  • 0

I need to pass the value from one function to another in JavaScript but when I am trying to do this it is not working.
The problem is with floaded2() function to get the value of the theYoutubeGlobalState.

HTML:

<html>
    <head>
    <script src = "http://www.youtube.com/player_api"></script>
    <script src = "jquery.js"></script>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" charset="utf-8">
    </head>
    <body dir = "rtl">

            <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-cSFPIwMEq4" onload="floaded2()" title="YouTube video player" id="player" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="400" width="500"></iframe>

    </body>
</html>

JavaScript:

var theYoutubeGlobalState;
        //onYouTubePlayerAPIReady
        function floaded() {
            player = new YT.Player('player', {
                videoId: '-cSFPIwMEq4',
                events: {
                    'onStateChange': function (event) {

                        theYoutubeGlobalState=event.data;                    }
                }
            });
        }

        function floaded2() {
            switch ( theYoutubeGlobalState )
             {
                 case 0:
                   alert("Ended");
                   break;
                 case 1:
                    alert("Playing"); 
                   break;
                 case 2:
                    alert("Paused"); 
                   break;            
            }
        }

    I made it work here:

    You set the wrong function to the onload event handler in the HTML — needs to be floaded() not floaded2() — and you needed to call floaded2() from floaded(). That’s it.
