Some method is needed to detect the end of playback of an swf file, perhaps a new signal on SwfdecPlayer. This is useful mostly for apps embedding swfdec to playback flash content, for example an MSN client implementing winks.

I think this is a very important feature, and shouldn't be that hard to do. For example, API docs say that player_get_next_event() should return -1 if file is finished, but it won't, so flash clip keeps playing on a constant loop.
Oh, someone is implementing wink support for amsn. :) Paul said that winks send the quit fscommand when they are finished, so it should be already possible to properly stop playing them by connecting to the fscommand signal on the SwfdecPlayer. At least I haven't heard back from him about this. If there's indeed files that require to check looping behavior, we first need to figure out what looping means and then we can implement it. For figuring that out, we need URLs or attachments of some files that exhibit this problem though.
