If you mean cortado, not currently. There was an intent to make it
more like the html5 media element which does emit an 'ended' event,
but that hasn't happened. Code welcome. :)

You can poll the getPlayPosition() method on the applet and compare
that with the duration of the clip. You might also try the kaltura
player, which IIRC had some javascript to emulate the html5 api over
the cortado applet.
