Hello everybody.
I'm trying to change src of quicktime embedded object with javascript :
<html><body>
<script language="JavaScript">
function Exchange()
{
document.qtvr.src = "sample2.pano";
document.embeds["mov"].src = "sample2.mov";
}
</script>
<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B"
width="600" height="400"
codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" id="qtvr">
<param name="autoplay" value="true">
<param name="controller" value="true">
<param name="pluginspage"
value="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/indext.html">
<param name="target" value="myself">
<param name="type" value="video/quicktime">
<param name="src" value="sample1.pano">
<embed src="sample1.mov" width="600" height="400" autoplay="true"
controller="true" border="0"
pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/indext.html"
target="myself" type="video/quicktime" name="mov"></embed>
</object>
<a href="#" onclick="javascript :Exchange()">exchange</a>
</body></html>
but IE said that "document.embeds.mov.src is not object", and image
isn't changed ( IE,Mozilla) when user click on the link "exchange".
What is wrong, how to do this correctly?
Thank in advance. 15  7530

Thank in advance.
To change the source of a QT movie you use the SetURL method like so,
document.getElementById("qtvr").SetURL("sample2.mo v");
Though the sample code you've included above contains deprecated
features and mistakes which I have to leave to someone else to fix.

`javascript:' does not belong into intrinsic event handlers. Declare
the default scripting language for event handler attributes in the `head'
element instead:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript">
The `click' event should be canceled properly, and the script-only link
should be written via script:
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<a href="#" onclick="Exchange();'
+ ' return false;">exchange<\/a>');
</script>
</body></html>

To change the source of a QT movie you use the SetURL method like so,
document.getElementById("qtvr").SetURL("sample2.mo v");
document.applets["qtvr"].SetURL("sample2.mov");
should suffice. However, it is error-prone to assume that the QuickTime
plugin would always be used for displaying this object and so a SetURL()
method would be available; `param' elements' values need not to be
followed, the `data' attribute is missing and the codebase is in a format
that would not be understood on non-Windows systems. Here in Mozilla/5.0
(X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051224 Debian/1.5.dfsg-3
Firefox/1.5 Mnenhy/0.7.3.0 that is likely to trigger the assigned mplayer
plugin instead.
Therefore, I would refrain from calling SetURL() but instead use the `data'
attribute in the first place and attempt to change the value of that
attribute via its representative property:
document.applets["qtvr"].data = "sample2.mov";

However, that is untested as well.

Sorry but I don't understand why code created dynamically is "correct"
whereas the the same code written directly in the page is "wrong"?

Of course it says that:
The <object><embed></embed></object> structure was used in the past to
cover browsers with object or embed support (but not both).
Thus if browser understands <object> it will *ignore* internal <embed>.
And if it doesn't understand <object> then it will skip on it and use
internal <embed> instead. As all known to me modern browsers do
understand <object> tag - your <embed> is never parsed so no use to
address it.
Also please note an erroneus link syntacs which will work for a *very
tolerant* browser only:
javascript : psi-protocol can be indicated in the href attribute only,
not in event handlers. The correct way would be:
<a href="noscript.html" onclick="Exchange();return false">exchange</a>
or at least:
<a href="javascript :Exchange()">exchange</a> (problems prone)

I tried a few approaches, I don't know if it was result of my mistakes
or it was simply unsupported, but none of the gentle methods of
replacing data source worked. I used brute force instead:
createElement('object'), set the properties and children, then
replaceNode. Rip the whole player out of the page and replace it with a
new instance of the player with the new movie assigned. Worked.

It is _not_ the same code. Besides, what makes the former also wrong is
that the link will do nothing without script support; the latter approach
will not generate the link at all without script support, so in that case
there would be nothing that did not do nothing :) Therefore, I would refrain from calling SetURL() but instead use the
`data' attribute in the first place and attempt to change the value of
that attribute via its representative property:

Did you provide the `data' attribute value for the `object' element instead
of using the `param' element?
PointedEars
oops,problem with Mozilla (but IE is ok):
this is works:
<object><embed src="sample2.mov"></object>
but this isn't works:
<object><embed src="../samples/sample2.mov"></object>
WHY?
sorry, I need to detalize the problem:
this code is ok:
<object><embed src="sample2.mov" id="gtvr"></object>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
document.getElementById("qtvr").SetURL("sample1.mo v");
</SCRIPT>
but problem with the following code:
<object><embed src="../samples/sample2.mov" id="gtvr"></object>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
document.getElementById("qtvr").SetURL("../samples/sample1.mov");
</SCRIPT>

More "clues" from the clueless?
"It is still not OK" is about as useless an answer as "It doesnt work"
is a description.

Just a thought: Are you testing it on a real server, or just loading a
file from the disk, on Windows? In this case, you might want to try
'.\mov\sample2.mov' instead. And then fix the path back to
'./mov/sample2.mov' before uploading, because webserver should handle
it correctly.

Again, that is not going to work on non-Windows systems or those without

QuickTime movies.

"Does not work" is a useless error description. [psf 4.11]
<URL:http://jibbering.com/faq/#FAQ4_43>
Does anybody know why???
Your Question Mark key is borken.
Possibilities:
1. The path is wrong: there is no `mov/sample1.mov' but a `sample1.mov'.
Check the path by accessing the resource directly (Address Bar etc.)
2. The plugin cannot handle this type of relative paths.
Omit the "./".

You could not get it to work because I misread the specification.
HTMLDocument::applets applies to `object' elements that refer to
applets and `applet' elements only. We do have an `object' element
here but not one that refers to an applet.
It should work with document.getElementsById('qtvr').data = "sample.mov"
(without the Reference Worm, of course.)
