    Hey, was wondering if someone could offer me a bit of help?

    I have a page with a place for my SWF to go at the top, and then underneath a load of links. When a link is clicked I would like it to load a different SWF, preferably without refreshing the page.
    Would this require ajax or is it just manipulating the DOM? Does anyone have any examples which may help?

    Many thanks!

    you should probably use an iframe for this - just load a new page into the iframe when you click the links.

    using javascript for this is usually problematic due to some memory handling issues in IE - the browser doesn't unload the flash plugin properly.

    I'm researching a solution for this exact same problem. Have you had any luck yet?

    this thread discussed the same problem. http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/forum/discussion/745/

    i posted an example you can use (at the bottom of the thread), but be aware the example doesn't take into account Geoff's comments about memory issues.
