Listen to Flash Player events

Question

Hi all,
I hope this is the right forum for this kind of question, if no i apologize for the spam and could you please redirect me to the right one.
Is it possible to write a sort of plugin to the Flash Player that can listen on events like:
- the player is loading an FLV video
- the user is pausing the FLV video
- the user is seeking the FLV video
and so on.
This is to develop an application that can control which videos are being accessed by the player and validate against a list of allowed URL.
I have seen that the Action Script3 allow to interface with external API so that for example a Javascript program in the webpage embedding the player can access some methods of player:

however i'm not sure what type of APIs the Flash Player can export to implement what i need.
Thanks in advance for any help/hint,
Giovanni

That's if they have access to the class file being loaded. Problem with static initializers is that they'd also have to write code in every class. (There is no way of specifying an initializer for a group of classes e.t.c)
I think the OP needs to simplify their requirements.e.g The class which would contain the code that sets this class loading logging capability would not itself be able to be logged.I was just guessing at the OP's requirements, having none. Often people come here and say "I need this," instead of saying "I need to +accomplish+ this..." which presupposes the path to take--a path that is often unnecessary or just plain wrong. So it was just a shot in the dark, saying that if the underlying requirement was to be notified of a single class being initialized, then that would be an alternative.
