JavaScript Object Model

This section describes how the rich media management object model interacts with the client object model to display and manage rich media content types such as images, audio, and video. The ECMAScript (JavaScript, JScript) object model for rich media management manages the client-side rendering and display of the media player in three different configurations. The JavaScript object model also supports media player controls, such as playing, seeking, and pausing a video or audio content item.
