Hi Sam,
I want to thank you for your help. Inserting
swfobject.removeSWF("videoframe");certainly got both browsers working in the
same way and the video halted.I feel most inadequete since if I had read on
within your tutorials I am sure I would have been able to sort it out myself.
However, I am not capable of re-starting the video if you go to
www.kophillclimb.org.uk/_index1.html you will see I have inserted into the
javascript
function newvideo()
{
var h = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];
var s = document.createElement("script");
s.setAttribute("id", "dynamicSwfobject");
s.setAttribute("type", "text/javascript");
s.setAttribute("src", "swfobject.js");
h.appendChild(s);
var t = setInterval(function()
{var a = typeof swfobject;
if (typeof swfobject != "undefined")
{
var flashvars = {};
var params = {loop:"false"};
var attributes = {};
swfobject.embedSWF("kophillintro2.swf", "videoframe", "599", "479",
"9.0.0", "expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);
clearInterval(t);
t = null;
}
}, 50);
}
and I have called it from the HTML line 85 with - onclick="newvideo()". The
javascript seems to have worked but the video does not restart!Any help
appreciated.

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)

ps I replied to the list; other may have something to add / suggest

Hi Sam,
Thanks for the rapid response. I feel I am a beginner in a man's
world.
I tried onclick="javascript:document.getElementById
('videoframe').removeSWF("kophillintro2.swf"); changemenu
('home_page')";
where "videoframe" is the Id of the object and "kophillintro2" the
name of the video. No effect in Firefox or IE.
The document.getElementById('videoframe').stop(); works in IE but not
in Firefox. This when when in IE is very good (it operates like
"pause" because if you go back to the video you can start it from
where you stopped it.)
