Via SWFobject and AJAX I put in a video to a certain <div>.
Using jQuery I tried this:
$('#youtubepreview').html('');
However that didn't remove it at all - the video still stayed right there.
Any ideas?

2Struggled with it - and then an epiphany. When swfobject applies a video to a certain DIV, it doesn't next it, but turns the actual div INTO the object itself. So I guess I just need a dual-layer system so I can keep at least one DIV intact.

$('#youtubecontainer'+suffix).remove('object'); $('#youtubecontainer'+suffix).html('<div id=\"youtubepreview'+suffix+'\"></div>');// and then re-embed a new video that will replace the old one, or leave it blank if the video is supposed to be blank. Thanks for the pointer towards the remove() function!

A:
SWFObject also has a removeSWF method you can invoke if needed.
Assuming the SWF was embedded with the ID "mySwfID":
swfobject.removeSWF("mySwfID");
