Change a flash on the fly.

[Defacta]

Hi!

Is it possible to change the content of a flash object with javascript
to change a video without having to reload all the page...

The HTML source of the flash is:

<div id="header">
<script type="text/javascript"> AC_FL_RunContent('codebase','http://
download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/
swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0','width','776','height','96','align','middle','src','flash/
menu','quality','high','bgcolor','#ffffff','name','flash/
menu','allowscriptaccess','sameDomain','pluginspage','http://
www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','flash/menu' );
</script>
<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/
swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="718" height="141">
<param name="movie" value="flash/video1.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="flash/video1.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://
www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-
flash" width="718" height="141"></embed>
</object>
</noscript>
</div>

Thanks,
Vincent.

beg your pardon? what do you want to achieve? If you want to change a
video use a video-editor, if you want to edit a flash-file, then use
flash. Why would you want to use JS for any of the above? JS is
client-side, your flash-object is server-side...

If I understand what you want to do, there is no need to use script.
When making the first flash, encode it to switch to another flash
display with onclick or at the end of a flash movie. Then in your page
code, you only have to use the first flash object, and the switching
to another flash display is done automatically.

The short answer is "No."

Actually both the long and short answers are yes. You can easily do
that using FSCommand or the newer Externalinterface class. Both allow
javascript/Flash communication, and were designed to perform
functionality just like this.

The real question is why would you do it like that rather than using
Flash itself. (based on the description of what they are trying to do)

You can change a Flash movie once it's loaded to another flick _without_
reloading the page? -Ain't seen it and ain't convinced.

Maybe they're just wierd.
