I want to embed and show a flash file. It works fine with document.write

  • 0

I want to embed and show a flash file. It works fine with document.write but when I tried with AppendChild(text) it doesn’t show flash but pure text instead. What DOM method to use instead ?

  <html>
  <head>
 <script>
  function addText(text,elementId){
    if (document.createTextNode){
      var mytextNode=document.createTextNode(text)
      document.getElementById(elementId).appendChild(mytextNode)
    }
  }

    </script>

  </head>

  <body>

                <div id="test">

                </div>

  <script>
      addText("<embed height='100' width='100' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowscriptaccess='always' wmode='transparent' quality='high' swliveconnect='true' name='test' id='test' src='test.swf'>",'test');
  </script>     
  </body></html>

    (function () {
    var myEmbed = document.createElement("embed");
    myEmbed.type="application/x-shockwave-flash";
    myEmbed.height='100';
    myEmbed.width='100';
    …
    document.getElementById("test").appendChild(myEmbed);
}());

    At first glance such an approach can often seem unnecessarily noisy and worthless, but it integrates much more sanely with the natural syntax of HTML. If you want to be able to write HTML directly into your document, you might be happier with a framework like jQuery, which allows syntax like:

    $("<embed src='…'/>")

    However, if you’re just doing all this to embed Flash, use swfobject.
