Can't change the flash file later with swfobject

I use swfobject to load a youtube embedded video, it works nice, but when i try to load another youtube video after a specific time it doesn't work, It looks like the container div is totally replaced with the swf instead of putting it inside it.

Note: i attempt using swfobject.embedSWF(path,divID,width,height) to load other videos which doesn't work.

Any ideas?

I know this is an older post, but just thought I'd mention that I ended up just using the YouTube javascript API to switch the video. Simpler, and the transition looks cleaner than trying to remove the object and add another one.

SWFObject v2.x replaces the target HTML element with an <object>.

If you want to use the same target element for multiple SWF embeds, you'll need to re-create the target element before attempting your subsequent embed. Here's a link to a tutorial for this topic (scroll down to "Replacing a loaded SWF with another SWF").
