CHanging the movie in 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:

 

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

 

...and here is the javascript code:

 

 

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

 

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?

 

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the bad layout above I copied it from another post (in the wrong forum!). The select containers are ok in my script, it is more about how to access and change the correct property of the flv object with Javascript where I am stuck.
