Hi Flo, may be I wasn’t clear on my first post. As I mentioned there, I did manage to get new clips playing. You can see the source code for a fully working example at http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0ASBiQVsuhHGlZDRrd2Z4Zl8xZG03OWt4ZHA&hl=en

Hi,

First of all a big thanks for posting this. I also needed the same functionality and the sample from vimeo’s website wasn’t working at all. I’ve managed to get new clips loading, so I thought I’ll share that with you. When the video is first loaded, somehow the element “myContent” disappears from the DOM tree, so the second call to SWFObject fails. Solution?, create “myContent” if it doesn’t exists.

first add a container div on top of myContent like,

…..

Then when loading the second clip before calling swfobject.embedSWF, add these lines,

var vp=document.getElementById(‘myContent’);
if(!vp) {
var container=document.getElementById(‘myContentContainer’);
container.innerHTML=”;
vp=document.createElement(‘DIV’);
vp.id=’myContent’;
container.appendChild(vp);
}
swfobject.embedSWF(“http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf”,’myContent’….

HTH
