Is it possible in Javascript to fire an event when someone clicks a flashobject

We use a video player on our site which gives us the following embed code

<object width="640" height="390" id="gorillanationPlayer_sotv002_playlist_677_sotv002_single_302479" data="http://cdn.springboard.gorillanation.com/storage/xplayer/yo033.swf?pid=sotv002&siteId=677&videoId=302479&autostart=false&file=http://cms.springboard.gorillanation.com/xml_feeds_advanced/index/677/3/302479/" class="SpringboardSwitcher" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> <param name="swliveconnect" value="true"> <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"> <param name="movie" value="http://cdn.springboard.gorillanation.com/storage/xplayer/yo033.swf?pid=sotv002&siteId=677&videoId=302479&autostart=false&file=http://cms.springboard.gorillanation.com/xml_feeds_advanced/index/677/3/302479/"></object>

Is it possible to detect when someone clicks on the object to play it? I'd like to capture an event to fire off some other Javascript. Any ideas welcomed.

Cheers

You want to use ExternalInterface to call your javascript: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/external/ExternalInterface.html
