[SWFObject] How do I dynamically remove swfobject using javascript

[Terry Cali]

I have a flash movie embedded in one of my pages using SWFobject.  Say I 
want to remove the SWFobject and replace it with text.  I'm trying the 
following function that I created, but it doesn't seem to work.  It works to 
replace other DIV tag contents, but it does not work on the DIV that has 
been changed by SWFobject to have a flash movie in it.

function removeSWFobject(){
    document.getElementById("mySWFobjectDIVcontainer").firstChild.nodeValue 
= "text to replace flash movie";
}

Is there a way to remove the SWFobject?  I tried setting the DIV style 
attribute to "none", but the audio of the flash movie keeps playing, so the 
flash object has not been removed.
