Subject: Controlling CallBack Methods via JavaScript

I would like to have several clips played sequentially in one .smi file on
an embedded player.  Between each clip I may want to take control of the
process, (for example, pausing the start of the next clip to wait for user
interaction), before the next clip starts.  For simplicity sake I am only
worrying about output to IE 5 (& up) browsers.  I am also using JavaScript
for browser scripting.

After reviewing the "Embedded Real Player Extended Functionality Guide" I
think I can accomplish this using the various CallBack Methods, but the
examples focus on Netscape and JavaScript vs. IE and VBScript.  The trick,
as I see it, is that the browser will have to be smart enough to know when a
clip ends and run some JavaScript (or VBScript) when that happens.

Here are my questions:
1) Is my approach possible?
2) Assuming my approach is possible, can I use JavaScript to reference the
callback methods? (or do I need to use VBScript?)
3) Do I need to include some sort of Java applet to accomplish this?
4) Are there any examples of this type of interactivity?

TIA,
