It's not terribly precise either - your best option is to take a JPEG

playstate changes to playing.

I've now used attachEvent to add a playStateChange handler. However I cannot find a way to reference the control from within the event handler. When using the solution I've posted before, I'm creating a closure which doesn't seem to be released from IE causing the video to play even when I deleted the element and set all references to null.

Any chance to reference the video from within the event handler without using closures? (There could be multiple videos on the page).
