Here is a description of the parameters and their usage:
- tbObjName :: (required) name of ToolBook object in which the Flash video stream should be loaded. Name must be unique.

- autoPlay :: (Boolean true/false) Default is false.
- loop :: (Boolean true/false) Default is false.
- notifyOnComplete :: (Boolean true/false) Default is false.
If true, then [tbObjName] will receive a user event when the video has completed. The format of the [value] parameter is "video,[total length of video in seconds],ended" - timeMarkers :: (string) comma-separated list/stack of integers in milliseconds wherein [tbObjName] should receive a user event. The format of the [value] parameter is "video,[timeMarker / 1000],time"
