I work on a website that embeds videos from many different websites, the number of sources run into the thousands. For YouTube, their JavaScript API allows a way to detect when the video ends and one can execute any function he wants at that time. But this will only work for the youtube videos. What about all the others?

So is there a global all applicable way to detect when the Flash video on a page has stopped playing using either javascript or action script? And by “stopped playing” I mean stopped playing when it reached the end and not just been paused half way.

P.S. There will always be one embedded video inside a <div> with the id video on the page.

    Just like YouTube provides an API, those players from those external websites have to provide their own APIs as well. There isn’t an easy one-size-fits-all solution that you can implement in JavaScript.
