You will need to add an observer to detect changes to the "state" field. 

eg: 

First assign your 'video' variable as 'm.video' so it can be accessed in the state event ...

 

 

m.video.observeField("state", "onVideoState")
'....

sub onVideoState()
    if m.video.state = "finished"
        ' reset the video content or just play the video again... etc. 
        ' m.video.control = "play"
    end if 
end sub
