Hi, I'm also having similar problems, but the embed doesnt seem to do
anything for me.. I have several flash image which i need to
dynamically load, and i have the following js function:
function imgSwap(type, file)
{
if(type == 'Photo')
{
document.getElementById('villa_img').innerHTML = '<img
src="/img/
uploads/villas/' + file + '" alt="" />';
}
if(type == 'Panorama')
{
var so = new SWFObject("/img/uploads/panoramas/" + file, file,
"254", "198", "8");
so.addParam("scale", "noscale");
so.write("villa_img");
}
}
It seems to be doing something as a flash box of the above dimensions
appears, whith a black background, but the flash just doesnt seem to
load. When using the embedSWF, nothing seems to happen at all when i
click on the link... any ideas what I am doing wrong here?
Thanks
Patrick
