detecting scene change in javascript

I have most of my application's control via javascript. I need to updated an external div if/when a scene is changed. So there are two ways I can see doing it, neither of which I know how to do :)

(1) Can I get a javascript event triggered when a new scene is selected within a pano viewing session? I don't think this is possible, but if it is, this would work the best for me.

(2) I can intermittetly query the scene name to detect a change. So is there a way for javascript to ask what the name of the current scene is? I'm thinking something like this:

function getSceneName(){
var name = document.getElementById("krpanoSWFObject").get('scenename');
alert(name);
}
.........
<a href="#" onclick="getSceneName();return false;">what is the current scene?</a>

How can I get the current scene name? What variable do I need to check for?

I have to think that (1) might not be possible, but I have to think that (2) is possible. Any help please?
