How do I swap flash movies in dreamweaver in place of swap image?

[Canned_Heat]

In Dreamweaver you can swap images on a mouseover event using behaviors.

Instead of swapping images, I want to swap flash movies.

Example:

Build a table
place and play a flash movie in a cell
on a mouseover, replace that flash movie with another flash movie.

Can it be done? It apparently can't be done directly - Dreamweaver won't see flash files as swappable. Perhaps there's a workaround.

You could try this,

make sure your object tag has an id attribute and the embed tag for the movie has a name attribute (the same as the id for the object tag)

then in between the head tags of the page add this function,

<script type="text/javascript">
function flipMovie(id, file) {
    var movie = window.document[id];
    movie.LoadMovie(0, file);
}
</script>

then on a link,

<a href="javascript:;" onmouseover="flipMovie('movie_id', 'over.swf');" onmouseout="flipMovie('movie_id', 'out.swf');">flip!</a>

where movie_id is the name/id used in the object and embed tags for the movie you want to flip on rollover.

Fantastic! Thanks! I'll give it a try.

(P.S. - hint to macromedia development team: this would be a nifty thing to add to flash/dreamweaver.)
