Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

$('#pctgauge')[0].SetVariable("pValue", 75);

Probably.

The key point is, jQuery objects (which are the most common things returned from calling $()) are arrays.

$("a") returns an array of all <a> elements. $('#pctgauge') returns an array of all elements having ID "pctgauge", which is a single-element array, but an array nevertheless. You must access its first element to call functions that are specifically defined on that element.

I had tried that:

With no luck. IE and FF both complaing that "'0' is null or not an object"

@Andrew: That's why I wrote "Probably". I'm not too confident since I've never worked with the jQuery swfobject plugin. Try @Loïc Février's answer instead, it looks better to me.

I did and I responded that it works in IE but not in FF or in Chrome. Thanks.

Answer 2

+1 A:

According to http://jquery.thewikies.com/swfobject/examples I think you should do

$('#pctgauge').flash(
    function() {
        this.SetVariable("pValue", 75);
    }
);

Thanks. That does work in IE but not in FireFox nor in Chrome.

I've never used it myself, but look at the page in my post, you should find all the info you need there.
