How to raise a seek to event for a Flash MediaElement using iframe?

How can a seek event be raised to a Flash MediaElement, starting from an embed code with defaults flashvars. Such as:

<embed id="me_flash_0"
       name="me_flash_0" play="true" loop="false" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" 
       wmode="transparent" 
       allowscriptaccess="always" 
       allowfullscreen="true" 
       type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
       pluginspage="//www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" 
       src="/dl/player/Fallback/flashmediaelement.swf" 
       flashvars="id=me_flash_0&amp;isvideo=true&amp;autoplay=true&amp;preload=none&amp;width=968&amp;startvolume=0.8&amp;timerrate=250&amp;flashstreamer=&amp;height=580&amp;pseudostreamstart=start&amp;autohideinterval=5&amp;islive=false&amp;smoothing=true" 
      width="968" height="580" nanclass="mejs-shim">

If a seek event cannot be raised directly, what about an expensive player rerendering to a specific start time?

Additionally what are the default possible values of flashvars?

What is nanclass="mejs-shim" a shim for what?

Solution

  • Actually found the answer. Without accessing the SWF, interacting directly with the MediaElement shim, MediaElement.js allows the media to be controlled. The functionalities can be accessed using the embed tag id and one of the functions declared in the media element. So in order to seek through the media using the shim window.me_flash_0.setCurrentTime(30); is enough to seek 30s within the media.
