How to use API with lightbox setup? about afterglow HOT 7 CLOSED

As far as I can see, there are two problems that prevent this from working.

1. There is a timing problem. When you try to access afterglow, it is not yet initiated. That is not such a big problem, as you can wait for that to happen.

2. The video player does not kick in at the time when afterglow is initiated. It will be created when you open the lightbox. So the event should be bound whenever you open the lightbox. This is a problem, because there is (until now) no way to make this happen. So we'll need to make one.

I'll give it a shot!

Just updated the community for this. Just bind the trigger click event, wait some time and then bind afterglow.

I'll add some sort of shortcut for that in the future.

Has there been any update on this? I'm still running into timing issues, I tried to bind an event (clicking on the anchor tag related to the lightbox) and running afterglow.init and seeing if that could work but I still can't do a redirect after a video finishes playing.

@Kzip - I gave up and used another library. Sorry, I forget which library I switched to.

Don't know if anybody is still on this. We do now (with v1.0) have a working event system, which solves the issue. You can (with v1.0, as soon as it is publicly available) now react to the afterglow events, which will also fire for lightboxes.

So, for instance:

afterglow.on('myplayerid', 'ended', function(){
    doSomething();
});

will execute doSomething() when the clip ended. Use the 'lightbox-closed' event for when the lightbox closes.

Please be aware that this wont work prior to v1.0.0b1. Let me know if there are any problems.
