Swapping Flash Objects

[dotcomtim]

By using flash objects embedded into your web page, is there a method of swapping these objects when clicking on buttons with in the page itself?

The idea is to have a page load once, and by clicking on the buttons load other flash movies with out reloading the page. If you can do it with images with a mouse over script and it be done with flash objects?

Who knows try doing it with DHTML. Once I remember I saw a similar thing which swapped sounds(embedded in flash) with javascript. But let me remember which it was .... umm.... DHTML ... yea http://dhtmlnirvana.com/index_back.html
Yep that's it contact the person called Eddie Traversa and may be you can find the answer??
Try it anyways.

Well... not sure how, but javascript can basically rewrite the html....

name the embed tag...

Then refer to that in the javascript:

something like

embedname.src = "nexthing.swf"

....maybe.

this is a total shot in the dark, but with the right syntax and commands, it should work.



Just put that in a function.

then:
<img onmouseover="function()">
And that's it. Assuming you're using an image mouseover.

the function can be used other ways as well, obviously.

yea maybe it is possible as with images. document.imagename.src = 'image.ext'
try doing sth like document.objectname.src = 'objectname.ext'
May be it works, I have never tried it so I am not so sure about it.
