Hi Aran Thanks very much. It was quite easy after reading your link, but impossible before! I was able to watch what had happened to my html after each step from the "source" listing.

I am enetering this thread a bit late (without the offline diswcussion knowledge), but from what I can see from your code, you are wanting to dynamically recreate the "videoframe" div once you have removed it, not re-insert the swfobject.js library file. What happens when you remove the swf is that you now no longer have an element "videoframe" to replace your swf content with. when you run your newvideo function, <div id="videoframe"> does not exist any more! Have a look at this tut (in the section "Using an 'onclick' event to replace a loaded SWF with another SWF"). It should get you up and happening. The technique is much the same as you are already using to dynamically insert in an element to the DOM. http://pipwerks.com/swfobject/load-onclick/2.0/index.html I hope this helps.

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.

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. 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.)
