// Get the number of markers in the current media item.
var mcount = Player.currentMedia.markerCount;

// Verify that at least one marker exists in the current media.
if (mcount > 0){

// Loop through the marker list.
for (var i = 1; i < mcount + 1; i++){

   // Print the marker name to the text area.
   MNAMES.value += Player.currentMedia.getMarkerName(i);
   MNAMES.value += "\n";
}
