I'm using JW Player 4.5 on my site and I need to add an event listener for when fullscreen is toggled.

The reason for this is to switch between a low-def version and high-def version. The default video will be the low-def version and when they switch to a fullscreen display, it will change to the high-def version.

According to http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/wiki/Player5Events, the ViewEvent.JWPLAYER_VIEW_FULLSCREEN1 event can only be called from Actionscript. I need it to be from Javascript...

Is there any way to achieve this? Can you recommend a better solution?
