Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)
BuildID:    2001050515

Calling methods on an embedded Real Player Control from javascript doesn't work.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Open the URL provided.
2) Click the 'Play URL' button.

It should call a method on the plugin to start playing.

Actual Results:  All you get is a script error:

  Error: document.javaPlug1.SetSource is not a function
  Source File: 
http://agassiz.prognet.com/devzone/tools/demos/java/rajavascript.html
Line: 17



Expected Results:  As in IE and NS4.7x, the media should start playing, no 
script error.


Real Player 8 Basic (6.0.9.584)
Real plugin 6.0.8.1024 (nppl3260.dll)

Mime Type Description Suffixes Enabled

You need an XPConnect enabled plugin.  4x plugins are not scriptable in Mozilla
based browsers.

Comment 2

[spongman]

is there an XPCOM version of the real plugin available?

There are various bug reports about one - but don't know if it's public yet.
