reload an SWF object from jquery

[pacodelucia]

I am using Open PHp chart. It uses a flash object to display charts. I
would like to update this swf object via ajax.
I have a problem accessing the object using jquery selectors:
Here is the HTML code
<object id="reportChart" ...>

//access via pure javascript
document.getElementById('reportChart').reload("charts/
genrate_chart.php"); // this works :-)

//access via jquery
$("reportChart").reload("charts/genrate_chart.php") // does not work

Apparently $("reportChart") is not returning really an SWF "object".
Anyone has an idea if this possible with jquery?

thanks

This is not a correct Selectot for ID, try so:

//access via jquery
$("#reportChart").reload("charts/genrate_chart.php"); // does not work

# for ID, . for CLASS

sorry for the type error. I meant really  that
$("#reportChart").reload("charts/genrate_chart.php");

does not work with the # selector.

Is there an error / typo in the URL being requested ?

Should it be "charts/generate_chart.php" ?

Hi
The code I have written in my post was some how pseuodo code. That is
the reason why it contains so much typing errors. Sorry for that

Here is the code directly copied from my js file:

          document.getElementById('reportChart').reload("charts/
pie_chart.php");    //works
          $("#reportChart").reload("charts/
pie_chart.php");                                           // does not
work

I am using firefox 3.5

Any chance that there are 2 items with id / name "reportChart" ?

The issue is that your selector returns a jQuery object, not a raw
DOMElement, which is what swfobject and/or ExternalInterface expect.
Use this instead:

var elem = $("#someId")[0];
elem.reload();

the difference is that by using array access to get the first element
in the wrapped set, you can directly call methods defined in AS3. Hope
that helps.

Thanks for the clarification. I can now access the swf object and
reload it.  :-)
