Global Attributes

Global attributes are attributes that provide easy access to certain player elements or objects from anywhere within a skin.

The player global attribute is a reference to the Player object, and is used to access the primary functionality of Windows Media Player.

Example:

<BUTTON
  onclick="jscript:player.controls.play();"
/>

The theme global attribute is a reference to the THEME element. This is the proper way to access THEME attributes, rather than by specifying an ID within the THEME element.

Example:

<TEXT 
  value="open" 
  onclick="jscript:theme.openView('newView');"
/>

The view global attribute is a reference to the current VIEW. This can be used instead of the ID specified within the various VIEW elements.

Example:

<BUTTON 
  id=”quitbutton”
  onclick=”jscript:view.close();”
/>

The event global attribute is used to access event attributes from within event handlers.

Example:

<BUTTON
  onclick=”jscript:if (event.altKey == true) myText.value=’ALT’;”
/>
