Flash within DHTML

Mar 8th, 2005

Does anyone know if it is possible to place a .swf within a dhtml dropdown. For instance, On click drop down and externally load an swf within the dropdown. Any feedback would be great. Thanks

Yeah you would need to create an innerHTML script like so (not sure if the code is going to be scrambled here....

Help with Code Tags

(Toggle Plain Text)

function loadFlash(theurl,width,height) {
document.getElementById("divname").innerHTML ='<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="'+ width + '" height="'+ height + '"><param name="movie" value=" '+ theurl + '" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="SCALE" value="exactfit" /><embed src="'+ theurl + '" width="'+ width + '" height="'+ height + '" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" scale="exactfit" /><\/embed><\/object>';
}

Then call the loadflash function from the onmousedown event in your menus like so

onmousedown="loadFlash('music.swf',80,60)"

I use this method to progressively load music on my DHTML Nirvana site and also load the flash movies.
