Changing the content of an flv player client side

[spenceddd]

Hi,

 

I have a form which contains an flv player which reads in content from my database when the page is refreshed but I also need it to change client side when an new item is selected from the a dropdown list.

 

This is the code I have for the flash player:

 

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="250" height="178" id="FLVPlayer">
          <param name="movie" value="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" />
          <param name="salign" value="lt" />
          <param name="quality" value="high" />
          <param name="scale" value="noscale" />
          <param name="FlashVars" value="streamName=uploaded/movies/<?php echo $row_chosen_pItem['movie'];?>" />
          <embed src="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" flashvars="streamName=uploaded/movies/<?php echo $row_chosen_pItem['movie'];?>" quality="high" scale="noscale" width="250" height="178" name="FLVPlayer" salign="LT" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" />        
</object>

 

Here is the code for the drop down list:

 

    <select name="movie" onChange="updateMov(this, 'FLVPlayer')">
          <?php echo buildMoviesFileList('uploaded/movies/',$row_chosen_pItem['movie']); ?>
        </select>

 

...and here is the javascript code:

 

function updateMov(ele, img) { 
document.getElementById(img).FlashVars = "streamName=uploaded/movies/" + ele.value;
} 

 

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?

 

Thanks in advance.

Anything client-side has nothing to do with php. I think your in the wrong board.
