[jQuery] Dynamically changing the source of SWF call

2006-12-12 Thread Andy Matthews 
I'm looking to try and change the source of a Flash movie using jQuery. I'm
working on doing it myself, but to be honest, I'm not sur eI'll be able to
figure it out, so I'm going to ask you guys.

Say mc_01.swf is the initial SWF that's loaded. I want to be able to click a
button/text link labeled two and have mc_02.swf load in place of
mc_01.swf. I want to be able to do  this for other buttons as well. I think
it should be possible, but I'm just not sure how to proceed.

Andy,

For cross-browser reliability you'll probably want to swap out the
whole object/embed tag and regenerate it for the new movie source.
You can get some ideas fom this flash plugin:

http://malsup.com/jquery/media/

It generates the proper HTML (using swfobject.js) and then does an
empty().html(..) on the target.

Okay...

I've come up with code that's working in that it changes the source
correctly, except that it doesn't change the display. Viewing Generated
source from within the Dev toolbar in FF shows that the values are changing
correctly. I also altered the code slightly to work with an image instead
and it works like a charm.

Anyone have any ideas? By the way, all paths are correct.

html
head
title new document /title
script type=text/javascript src=jquery.js/script
script language=JavaScript
!--
$(document).ready(function(){
$(a).click(function(){
var mySrc = $(this).href();
$('param').val(mySrc);
$('embed').src(mySrc);
return false;
});
});
//--
/script
/head
body
a href=red.swf class=redLoad red/anbsp;nbsp;
a href=blue.swf class=blueLoad blue/anbsp;nbsp;
a href=yellow.swf class=yellowLoad yellow/a
