Hi,

Can any one help me.

Does SWFObject have a method to remove the Flash from a defined div? I am wanting to call a function, using ExternalInterface, that will remove the calling content. Or, alternatively, anyone know a way in JavaScript to clear a div?


thanks in advance

Hi,
SWFObject has a built-in method named "deconcept.SWFObjectUtil.cleanupSWF", but i'm not sure that it's appropriate for your needs. (Geoff? Aran?)

a simple way to clear a SWF is to use innerHTML to replace the DIV's content.

if you want to use a function, you could try something like:


function removeDivContent(targetDiv){
var div = document.getElementById(targetDiv);
div.innerHTML = "";
}


or


function replaceDivContent(targetDiv, newContent){
var div = document.getElementById(targetDiv);
div.innerHTML = newContent;
}


if you're familiar with DOM scripting, you could also use removeChild() to delete the DIV itself. something like:


function deleteNode(targetDiv){

var div = document.getElementById(targetDiv);

if(div){
var p = div.parentNode;
p.removeChild(div);
}

}
