swf swap

Hi,
I am looking for a way to change Flash files when a user clicks on a link.
This is for a portfolio site. All of the SWF movies are the same size and go in the same position.
I would like to do this without reloading the page.
Can you offer a JavaScript (or other) solution?
Thanks,
Josh

Is your swf embedded in a object tag?
If yes you can set the object with an id and get the object at runtime by

var myobject = document.getElementByid('myFlashObj')

and you can set the HTML of the object using

myobject.innerHTML

Thanks Dude!

This is the code for the Flash, so I believe so.

Here is a URL for the page: http://019d900.netsolhost.com/Wordpress/

<div style="text-align: center; width:360px; height:250px; line-height:250px; margin-left: auto; background: #58585a;"><div id="swf4e5f1">This movie requires Flash Player 9</div></div>
 
<script type="text/javascript">
	swfobject.embedSWF("/Wordpress/wp-content/uploads/SampleSlides/home_slides.swf", "swf4e5f1", "360", "250", "9.0.0", "", {}, {wmode: "window", menu: "false", quality: "high", bgcolor: "#58585a"}, {});
</script>
			<li id="text-333168321" class="widget widget_text">						<div class="textwidget"><?php wp_swfobject_echo("/wp-content/uploads/SampleSlides/home_slides.swf", "360", "250"); ?></div>
		</li>
</div>

Open in new window

This works well, but it does load a movie when the page loads.

How can I accomplish this?

Thanks!

That piece of code looks fine.
Can you clarify your issue as I cannot understand what problem are you talking about.

The page was not loading a flash movie on load, but that is now working. The issue is resolved. Thanks!
