Thanks for Your replies!
I've read that article that Philip mentions before but obviously not
careful enough so I had a new look at it:)
"see this link for more details about removeSWF:
http://learnswfobject.com/advanced-topics/load-a-swf-using-javascript...
(scroll down to *Replacing a loaded SWF with another SWF*) "
I changed my code to this:
swfobject.removeSWF('#myId');
$("#main-content").append(newDivFlashContent);
That seems to have solved the problem.
Actually, all browsers except IE worked fine with just this:
$('#myId').replaceWith(newDivFlashContent);
The removeSWF doesn't seem to be needed by other than IE??
I'm a bit puzzled about why the whole funtionality still worked when I
added the removeSWF before the .replaceWith() line...
Does that mean that the jQuery .replaceWith() works somehow even if
the id it is supposed to replace doesn't exist anymore?
I also changed this that Sam Sherlock mentioned:
"and lastly your loading jquery ui 1.8rc1 direct from jquery svn 1.8
is
available from google hosted api
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.0/jquery-ui.min.js "
I had a look at this that Sam mentioned but could not quite digest
it...:
"swfobject.createSWF(attObj, parObj, replaceElemIdStr)
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/api "
And this:
"the initial call to embed the swf is not in the head of the document
"
The reason I'm not doing this is that the movies are published
dynamically through the use of Wordpress Custom Fields.
The custom fields are placed in the body. I'm sure there is a way to
make it all happen in the header but that would mean I'd have to
rebuild a lot of everything.
Luckily it works anyway:)
