A:
you can change it by doing:
$('embed').attr('flashparam', 'config={"playitem":[{"url":"http://localhost/test.flv","autoPlay":false}]}');
But as @Pekka mentioned, the change will not make it to the flash movie so there is no point to do this. Read the below article which talk about how to pass variable values between flash and your page (Read "Using JavaScript" section):

Here is a working version:

I hope this help!

Well i need to just change the URL and not the entire attribute. Is there any way out there?Please do not worry about the Flash, it will play the flv file once i replace the new one. I just need to replace the URL paramater with the new FLV file

hmm i'm not sure if i could believe that. if you use chrome or firefox firebug, you can inspect your html and change your attr on the fly (equivalent when jquery changes the attr but this will be easier to test). please do this and test if what you are saying will definitely work.

Hello Mr. Mouhannad,Thanx for your kind advice on How to use firebug on firefox for debuging purpose.I would like to share with you Mr. Mouhannad that before posting the question, i had already tested it on firefox with the help of firebug(as you mentioned) and its working for me.That is the only the reason i posted this question over here. Also, i have specifically asked that whether "URL" can be be changed or not? Isn't it?The question is not whether it will work or not? Your statetments are under estimating the power of jQuery. I guess your unware with the richness of jQuery?

Hi,
This should work out fine
var e = $('#container').text();
e.replace(/\./g, "[this is period]");
