var vlc = document.getElementById("vlc")
var x = vlc.getVariable("key-fullscreen");
vlc.setVariable("key-pressed", x)

The ActiveX control still supports the IVLCControl interface, it's just that the IVLCControl2 interface is now the default you get when you create the object. I'm not sure how you'd get Javascript to do the QueryInterface on the ActiveX object to give you the old interface to call though, sorry.

var vlcOld=new ActiveXObject("VideoLAN.VLCPlugin.1");
function getVariableVLC(parString)
try {
var x = vlcOld.getVariable(parString);
return x;
}
catch (e)
{
alert(e+" : "+e.description)
getVariableVLC(parString)
}

The Default Interface

Every public member (any member not marked as private or friend) of a class is part of that class's default interface.

Important things to note about default interfaces:

1. The default interface of a class is the only interface that scripting languages can access.
2. The default interface of a class is the only one that can be late bound to. If you assign a reference of your object to a variable that is a variant or object (for example, Dim x as Object) and class a method off that variable, late binding is used.

Points 1 and 2 are actually stating the same thing (because VBScript and JavaScript languages use variants and only support late binding).

Public members of a class are members of the default interface. The default interface supports early and late binding by consumers of the class.
