Represents the core playback engine used to manage and execute the authoring environment, movies in a window (MIAWs), projectors, and Shockwave Player.

The Player object provides access to all of the movies and windows that it is managing, in addition to any Xtra extensions that are available.

You can create a reference to the Player object by using the top level _player property.

• Assign _player to a variable.

  -- Lingo syntax
  objPlayer = _player
  
  // JavaScript syntax
  var objPlayer = _player;
  
  

• Use the _player property directly.

  -- Lingo syntax
  _player.alert("The movie has ended.")
  
  // JavaScript syntax
  _player.alert("The movie has ended.");
