Event Management Methods

These methods tell the player what events to send to the container, and to which JavaScript function. Event listener functions should take one argument to receive the event. The event is an associative array object. The keys used in these objects are detailed in Events.

clearAllEventListeners():void

Tell the player to stop sending events to the container.

clearEventListener(type):void

Tell the player to stop sending events of type to the container.

setEventListener(type, listener):void

Tell the player to send all events of type to the specified listener function. Both arguments must be strings. The listener parameter can be the name of any JavaScript function. This function is passed an event object whenever it is called.
