i don't have an IE (mac-user ;) ) ... so what is not working ... do you get an error?

**th1982** · Mar 27 '08, 08:26 AM

oh sorry!
only first clip can run,second and third clips are not disappeared
and select box very small , i can only see "V"characte r(in FF i can see the full text inside the select box).
thanks to yr answer.

hmmm ... the selectbox issue comes from you selects css style - just remove it to see the effect ...

the other issue with the replacing of the nodes ... seems to be an IE bug (look here ) and may be you should replace the embed with the object tag - which is the w3c standards-compliant way to embed flash ... have a look at the link in the answers at quirksmode.org (i mean this one) ...

kind regards

Thanks very much!!!
I've tried to put it in 2 ways like this :
First :
[html]<OBJECT classid="clsid: D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macrom edia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#ver sion=6,0,40,0"
WIDTH="204" HEIGHT="183" id="video_conta iner"><PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="flash/video0.swf"><PA RAM NAME=quality VALUE=high><PAR AM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF>< EMBED src="flash/video0.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH="204" HEIGHT="183"
NAME="myMovieNa me" ALIGN="" TYPE="applicati on/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="ht tp://www.macromedia. com/go/getflashplayer" ></EMBED></OBJECT> [/html]

Second :

[html]
<object classid="clsid: D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macrom edia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#ver sion=6,0,40,0"" width="204" height="183" id="video_conta iner"><param name="movie" value="flash/video0.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> </object>
[/html]

Results : FF and IE : only play video0.swf which we put in the code.
are anything wrong from these code?

Thanks
best regards

... and you have to change the javascript function too ... since the movie-src is now defined in the param-node ...

kind regards

**th1982** · Mar 28 '08, 08:20 AM

the function will be like this ,am i right?

[html]
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaS cript" TYPE="text/javascript">

function change(node) {

var movie = document.getEle mentById('video _container');
var n_movie = movie.cloneNode (true);

n_movie.value= "flash/video" + node.value + ".swf";

movie.parentNod e.replaceChild( n_movie, movie);

}

</SCRIPT>
[/html]

**gits** · Mar 28 '08, 04:01 PM

nope ... that should have worked with the 'embed-version' ... :)

try this:

[CODE=javascript]
function change(node) {
var video = document.getEle mentById('video _container');
var o_param = video.getElemen tsByTagName('pa ram')[0];
var n_param = o_param.cloneNo de(true);

n_param.setAttr ibute('value', 'flash/video' + node.value + '.swf');

n_param.parentN ode.replaceChil d(n_param, o_param);
}
[/CODE]
kind regards

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaS cript" TYPE="text/javascript">
function change(node) {
var video = document.getEle mentById('video _container');
var o_param = video.getElemen tsByTagName('pa ram')[0];
var n_param = o_param.cloneNo de(true);

n_param.setAttr ibute('value', 'flash/video' + node.value + '.swf');

o_param.parentN ode.replaceChil d(n_param, o_param);

sorry gits!
pls try to help me to solve this problem.
thanks
best regards

ok ... the following solution seems to work ... but i don't like it very much ... due to some browser-specs that have to be used here:

the js-function should be:

[CODE=javascript]
function change(node) {
var video = document.getEle mentById('video _container');
var o_param = video.getElemen tsByTagName('pa ram')[0];
var src = 'flash/video' + node.value + '.swf';
o_param.value = src;

var embd = video.getElemen tsByTagName('em bed')[0];
embd.setAttribu te('src', src);

var n_video = video.cloneNode (true);

video.parentNod e.replaceChild( n_video, video);
}
[/CODE]
and the flash should be embeded the following way:

[HTML]<object classid="clsid: D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macrom edia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#ver sion=6,0,0,0"
width="270" height="183" id="video_conta iner">
<param name="movie" value="flash/video0.swf" />
<embed src="flash/video0.swf" width="270" height="183"
quality="high" name="movie"
type="applicati on/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="ht tp://www.macromedia. com/go/getflashplayer"/>
</object>[/HTML]
