So I had an IE issue with flash videos continuing to play even when their DIV's display property was set to none ( $('flashdiv').hide(); )
So I was able to solve this problem, by using .detach() and then reinserting the div. This worked great, however the problem now is that the "play" button doesn't work. However, if I hit rewind, or fast forward, it plays, and the play/stop button work fine.
The way I'm reinserting the divs is like this:
var divid = $('#flashdiv').clone('true');
and then to reinsert:
$('#test').html(divid);
Any idea why the play button would not work?
