NPAPI: is there a way to generate an event to JS?

Is there a way to have an NPAPI plugin generate an event on the host page side? i.e. the page that contains the <embed> tag instantiating the plugin.

Disclaimer: I am an NPAPI newbie.

Solution

  • Found a way: on the plugin side, expose an "addEventListener" method and have the JS side use this API to register "listeners".

    When an event occurs on the plugin side, iterate through the "listeners".
