How to see if player is "done"?

[Phil Davis]

Hi List -

Some context:

When using VIDEOCLIPS (embedded movies), we have two language features 
available that help us detect whether a clip is still playing:
   - the "movie" function
   - the "playStopped" message

When using PLAYERS to play movies (referenced files), we apparently have 
only one such feature available:
   - the "playStopped" message


My questions:

1) Is "playStopped" truly the only non-workaround way you can detect the 
current 'play' status of a player?

2) If so, what is your most reliable workaround way of detecting this?


Thanks -
Phil Davis
