using AJAX and youtube videos

[caedo]

Hi,

 

 

I'm programming a module that works like youtube. You have a player object where the video is played and a list of videos.

I'm using AJAX to change the videos dynamically when you click on the image. Right now I'm using Prototype.

The problem is that it does'nt changes the video, so I think that the new player is not being loaded.

 

This is the code I have:

 

echo '<object width="625" height="350">'.

'<param name="movie" value="'.$_GET['url'].'"></param>'.

  '<embed src="'.$_GET['url'].'" type="'.$_GET['type'].'" width="425" height="350">'.

  '</embed>'.

'</object>';

 

 

I thought that only echoing the HTML  tags with the right parameters would make it. Do you have any idea of how to do it?

 

 

thanks in advance

Why not jsut throw the video in an iframe and use targeted urls to change videos. Saves you from javascript.

Couldnt you just have ajax return the link of the next video and then use javascript to change the SRC in the embed tag??

Thanks for the post.

 

 

I'm going to try to implement the approach of adam84 due to time reasons.
