[flexcoders] Detecting Flash Player standalone menu events
Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with an integration issue I'm currently facing. The application I'm writing is going to be hosted on a client's platform that uses some kind of queuing mechanism to preload and schedule content that is to be delivered to an external screen. Apparently, the way it works is that it uses Standalone flash player to host any flash content. The content gets preloaded into this player, then is immediately 'stopped' (using the Flash Player's Stop menu) until the platform decides its ready to go to screen. When it goes to screen, Flash Player's 'Play' menu item is triggered, which is my queue to start my application. So my question is simple; does anyone know if I can hook up to those events, and if so, how? I'm guessing they're something to do with the timeline, but I'm not a CS3/4 developer, and I'm struggling to find any info on what exactly they do and the implications of them on SWFs developed in Flex. Any help much appreciated, Craig
