Embedding Flash & Quicktime Via JavaScript

Question

I have a JavaScript function that loads a flash movie into a webpage div using swfobject.embedSWF().

I want to be able to, alternatively, load a .mov file into the same div, in the event that this is the file found instead of the .swf.

Is there a close equivalent to swfobject.embedSWF for the purposes of embedding a .mov file? If not, what is an efficient route to doing this using JavaScript?

Answer 1

QTObject might do what you need and it's from the same author as SWFObject. It's old though, so I'm not sure if it will work well in modern browsers.

EDIT I searched and found reports of it working fine in IE7, Firefox 2 and Opera 9, so you might just be in luck. Just make sure you test it thoroughly.
