Play flash video in editable region selected from another region?

[lance59]

Hi All,

I have a template based web site. I have an editable region on the right side that I want to list different flash video file names. When you click on one of them I need it to play in another editable region on the same page (i.e. in the center). So how do I point the file to the other region to the flash player? Or is there an easier way that I don't see and am I making this too hard.

Here is the code I have in the middle editable region, with a video file already listed, but I need to replace this file with the one that will be selected in another editable region.

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="

http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"

width="362" height="314" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain">
<param name="movie" value="flash_video/VTS_01.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff">
<embed src="VTS_01.swf" quality="high" align="middle" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="362" height="314" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="

http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">

</object>

TIA

Is this 1 movie per page concept?

If YES then:
place your code inside the tages:
<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="EditRegion1" -->
...your code above....
<!-- TemplateEndEditable -->

If NOT then:
why not use new window or popup....don't think that 'player' or 'slide show' concept will work as editable regions.
Perhaps some JS with onClick action to change the filename as a variable ("....<param name="movie" value="flash_video/VTS_01.swf">..." and/or "...<embed src="VTS_01.swf...")
Most of the time you would use flash to generate entire "thumb-gallery" concept with a player like interface so you look through flash forum.
All the best!
