Getting Windows Media Player events in Firefox (sans ActiveX)

[lajolladev]

Can anyone provide a *working* code snippet that uses javascript to listen for Windows Media Player events in Firefox -- without requiring the presence of the WMP ActiveX plugin?

There is a lot of conflicting advice out there, and nothing I've found works unless the ActiveX plugin is installed.

Any help much appreciated!

From what I remember when the guys in my office looked into this is it just isn't going to happen. Most and hopefully all Javascript allowences for performing system operations have been effectivly closed as they were the source of many secruity vulnerablities. If you do find a way please PLEASE! tell me. What I do know is that this much more likely ti be possible with a java applet.
