[SWFObject] How do I dynamically remove swfobject usingjavascript

[Terry Cali]

Thanks.  A couple more questions if you don't mind....

1) I saw the innerHTML thing you did and just wrote this on the original DV tag, which worked:
        document.getElementById("mySWFobjectDIVcontainer").innerHTML="Hello World!";

Any reason to go the step further and create a new div and swap them out?


2) This isn't exaclty SWFobject related, but I could use some help....
What I'd actually like to replace the SWFobject with is a preloaded image.  Any help on doing so?

// done in the head somewhere to preload image:
var myImage = new Image();
myImage.src = "http://mysite.com/images/image.jpg";

// swap SWF for image
document.getElementById("mySWFobjectDIVcontainer").innerHTML=<img src=myImage.src>;  // doesn't work

or

// swap SWF for image
document.getElementById("mySWFobjectDIVcontainer").innerHTML=<img src="http://mysite.com/images/image.jpg">;  // doesn't use preload in IE

  I suggest doing a DOMElement.replaceChild.

  // Somthing like
  function removeSWFobject() {
      var newdiv = document.createElement("div");
      newdiv.innerHTML = "Hello World!";
      var flashdiv = document.getElementById("mySWFobjectDIVcontainer");
      document.body.replaceChild(newdiv, flashdiv);
  }

  Of course it does not destroy the SWFObject declared in JavaScript memory, it only removes the HTML rendered output.
