Maintain Flash transparency when using Dynamic Layers

I’m creating a dynamic layer:

PHP Code:


		
			
function dylayer()

{  

var x = 150  

var y = 180 

var w = 176 

var h = 117  

var newDiv = document.createElement("div");

newDiv.setAttribute("id","oDiv");

newDiv.style.textAlign="center";  

newDiv.style.position="absolute";  

newDiv.style.top="140px";  

newDiv.style.left="150px";  

newDiv.setAttribute("style", "width:50%; text-align:center; position:absolute; top:150; left:180;");

document.body.appendChild(newDiv); 

newObj = document.createElement("embed"); 

newObj.setAttribute("src","transflash.swf"); 

newObj.setAttribute("width",w); 

newObj.setAttribute("height",h); 

newDiv.appendChild(newObj);

}

and loading a Flash swf file that has transparency:

PHP Code:


		
			
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="transflash.swf"> 

<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> 

<PARAM NAME=wmode VALUE=transparent> 

<PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#CC6633> 

<EMBED src="transflash.swf" quality=high wmode=transparent bgcolor=#CC6633  

      WIDTH="176" HEIGHT="117" NAME="transflash" ALIGN="" .........>

The javascript as is doesn’t include the Flash <param>’s for transparency. I’ve being trying to insert it using:

PHP Code:


		
			
 transpParam = document.createElement("param");

transpParam.setAttribute("wmode", "transparent");

newObj.appendChild(transpParam);

Could someone help with the insertion or offer an alternative suggestion as to how to include the transparency param for flash

Many Thanks…

I've played with the code and got it to work. I'll post it incase its a help to someone else:

PHP Code:


		
			
<script>

function foo()

{ 

var x = 30 

var y = 20

var w = 500

var h = 375 

var newDiv = document.createElement("div");

//

newDiv.setAttribute("id","oDiv");

newDiv.style.textAlign="center"; 

newDiv.style.position="absolute"; 

newDiv.style.top="20px"; 

newDiv.style.left="30px"; 

newDiv.setAttribute("style", "width:50%; text-align:center; position:absolute; top:20px; left:30px;");

document.body.appendChild(newDiv);

//

newObj = document.createElement("embed","wmode");

newObj.setAttribute("src","testTBG.swf");

newObj.setAttribute("width",w);

newObj.setAttribute("height",h);

newObj.setAttribute("wmode", "transparent");

newDiv.appendChild(newObj);

} 

</script>
