Video Player Component Events

Description

Information about client-side and server-side events for the Video Player Component.

Discussion

When the Video Player component is run initially, server and client-side events fire in the following order: onComponentInitialize -> onComponentExecute -> onInitialRender

When an Ajax callback is made, events fire in the following order: canAjaxCallback -> onComponentExecute -> afterAjaxCallbackComplete

Server-side Events

Like all user-defined components, the Video Player Component exposes 3 user-modifiable server-side events: onComponentInitialize, onComponentExecute, and onInitialRender, called in that order when the component is first run. When an ajax callback is made, the onComponentExecute event is called.

The Video Player Component does all of its server-side initialization in the systemOnInitialRender event, which is called just prior to onInitialRender.

onInitialRender Event

This function is called to render the component. It generates the HTML and JavaScript for the Video Player component.

Do not overwrite e.javascript in the onInitialRender event, or the Video Player Component will not be displayed. You may append your own JavaScript if you wish, e.g. e.javascript = e.javascript + myJS

onComponentInitialize Event

Fires the first time the Video Player component is run.

onComponentExecute Event

Fires every time the Video Player component is run.
