Update the embedded video using javascript/ajax

[Kalyan Anand]

I have an embedded video in a web page

<embed name="video3" src="http:xxxxxxx" FlashVars="autoplay=false&assetId=video:asset   :-P	   mms:121212&playerId=player1212" quality="high" width="500" height="200" name="player653" allowScriptAccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" wmode="transparent"></embed>

When I click a button the following java script code gets executed

document.getElementById("video3").setAttribute("src","http://secondvideoxxxxxxxx");

Whereas it is not loading the new video on the page. Can this be done ?

try using getElementById with an id and set the src with the new value without the setAttribute.

<embed name="video3" ...

It looks like "video3" is the value for the name attribute of this element. Maybe getElementById is looking for an id attribute?
