Refreshing an embedded object

I have a HTML window with a couple frames. In the second frame, I have an embed tag which looks like this:

From the other frame, I've written some JavaScript to change the src attribute of that embed tag. That code looks like this:

What I've found is that the src attribute changes (I put alerts on either side of the assignment operator and can see the change occur), but the embed object does not refresh to reflect the new image.
Is there a way I can get that object (or that frame) to refresh?
For now, I've gotten around it by rewriting the entire frame every time I want to refresh. It works, but it seems awfully wasteful.
Thanks,
Corey

why are you embeding the image istead of using the image tag? If you are just using it to display the image then I would not attack it that way.
TRhis is what I would do:

<form name="Pic">
<img src="blah1.gif" name="ThePic">
</form>
in the other frame use
parent.framename.document.Pic.ThePic.src="blah2.gif";

Because the image I need to display is a tiff, which IE does not display natively through an img tag.

set the name in the object to id instead
<object id="ObjectID">
then
try using the following
parent.FrameName.document.getElementById('ObjectID').src="blah";
