I'm using jQuery UI's sortable functionality. Try playing the youtube video, then click on the text "DRAG" to drag the elements around the youtube video, it continues to play fine. But if you attempt to drag the video itself, it will reload the flash, causing it to lose whatever state it was in. Anyone have an idea on how to keep this from happening? I'm working on an application where the flash object needs to hold its state while being dragged. example code in nicer format at http://jsbin.com/areko/edit Any insights would be appreciated!
