I want to set part of an url of an html <object> tag with an angular variable, but I get a lot of error messages in the console, because the presented string looks like

http://...../%7B%7Bvarname%7B%7B/....

I had the same problem with the <img> tag, but there I could use the ng-src directive. I guess I need to write my own directive, but what are the things I need to look out for?

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="378" width="620" id="live_embed_player_flash" data="http://...?chan={{varname}}" bgcolor="#000000">
    ...
    <param name="flashvars" value="hostname=...&chan={{varname}}" />
</object>

Try this: 

<object ... data="{{address}}">

Controller:

$scope.varname = "something";
$scope.address = "http://...?chan=" + $scope.varname;

Fiddle

Thanks, but should this work? Because for me it does exactly what I expected, nothings gets "interpreted". The final html output includes {{'http://...?chan='+varname}} and of course the error message stays the same. –  KenavR Nov 27 '13 at 13:17
    
@KenavR varname should be a scope model. Take a look at my update. –  CodeHater Nov 27 '13 at 13:22
    
@KenavR Try storing the entire address in a scope variable and then using that inside the HTML. –  CodeHater Nov 27 '13 at 13:29
    
It always was a $scope variable and I can correctly output it with {{varname}}, but as an attribute value it doesn't work. It does get correctly "interpreted" eventually, but the browser is faster fetching the markup, than angular is with replacing the {{variables}}. (docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.directive:ngSrc) I guess I need to dig more into ngSrc and go on with my search. –  KenavR Nov 27 '13 at 13:50
    
Did you try with my latest update? By having the entire address in a scope variable instead of concatenating in the HTML? –  CodeHater Nov 27 '13 at 13:52
