Can someone take a look at this? It works great in IE but doesn’t work in Firefox.

[code]
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = “JavaScript”>
function change(url) {
var streamURL = url;
document.mediaPlayer.fileName = streamURL;
document.mediaPlayer.autostart = “1”;
}
</SCRIPT>
[code]

It is simply being called like: change(‘www.mysite.com/myvid.wmv’);

@toicontienFeb 13.2006 — Aha! The reason is because you've got the ID "mediaPlayer" in the document twice. An ID is an ID because it's only supposed to be in the document once.

Give the OBJECT and EMBED tags unique IDs, and then in your JavaScript, change the source for both tags.

Success!
