Hi Bob, A good resource of swfobject examples can be found here
tests for both of the method I mentioned (and everything else too) http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/test_suite http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/testsuite_2_2/test_api_create_remove.html your code should remove the swf like so swfobject.removeSWF("videoframe"); and more here too (examples and instructions) http://pipwerks.com/lab/swfobject/ FYI the video does stop in my version of firefox (version 3.5.5); even so I would still remove and add when navigating back to the tab. Removing it is a sure fire way to stop it playing + I feel its safer than leaving it there in an inactive tab (browsers can some times crash when lots is going on - removeswf removes the flash from the page). I have not checked other browsers you could check the value of menuname within the change function you have in _khc.js (I have some code I have tried in firebug to get this to work and may be able to revisit it later) - S ps I replied to the list; other may have something to add / suggest 2009/11/30 bob.woodman <[email protected]> > Hi Sam, > > Thanks for the rapid response.
