SWFObject is a javascript object that allows people to embed .swf files in
their web pages. Among other things, there is a method called .embedSWF
that takes arguments and puts a specific .swf file that you specify,
swapping it for a designated div. There's nothing stopping you from calling
that function more than once. So depending on what you are using to trigger
the action, it would be code on the order of:
if (action1) {
swfObject.embedSWF(...)
} else {
swfObject.embedSWF(...)
}
I would just be sure you are including the right version of the swfObject.js
script (version 2.x) and that should do the trick. However, the embed
method depending on how you do it may reload the flash movie each time (not
cached), which might be laggy and undesirable.
If I were doing something like this, I would define 2 divs in your HTML
page, one with an id="version1" and another with id="version2"
If I needed any of these divs on page, I would define my style sheet to show
it where it needed to be shown. If one or both of the divs need to be
hidden, then I would define the style on that div so that the x and y
coordinates are off screen (like using huge negative numbers).
Then you write some script that would "move" the div onto the visible part
of the page where you want it. You can simulate a Flash swap that way.
A lot depends on what you're trying to do. Using the method I described
works perfectly fine for 2 flash movies, but it might not work so well if
you had say 30...
Hope this points you in the right direction. If you do some google
searching, there was a post a day or so ago that discussed swapping a Flash
movie using the technique I described.
