How to get object's parameter

[rlinsurf]

I'm trying to set the value of an object's parameter, so that it will change based on a link the user clicks, which gives the url for a .mp3. So far, I've tried this:

function doButtons(mp3file) {
	var flashPlaySrc = 'mp3=';
	var flashPlayParam = '&height=55&bgcolor1=9f0007&slidercolor2=440c0f&buttoncolor=440c0f';
		document.getElementById('mp3Player').style.display = "inline-block";
		document.getElementById('FlashVars').value = flashPlaySrc + mp3file + flashPlayParam;
	    alert(flashPlaySrc + mp3file + flashPlayParam);
	}

With this as the object:

<object name="mp3Player" id="mp3Player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="[URL unfurl="true"]http://flash-mp3-player.net/medias/player_mp3_multi.swf"[/URL] width="200" height="55">
    <param name="movie" value="[URL unfurl="true"]http://flash-mp3-player.net/medias/player_mp3_multi.swf"[/URL] />
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#710305" />
    <param id="FlashVars" name="FlashVars" value="" />
</object>

When the alert comes up, it gives the correct string, and the flash-mp3-player thingie gets the very first file, and can play it. However, all the parameters for the colors, etc., aren't there, and it will only play the first .mp3, no others, and doesn't change. So something is wrong.

Where is the API documentation for this player? Does it actually accept those params, or are you 'poking and hoping'?

It actually does. However, there's other stuff I need to do, and I can't find any API for it. What I did find was the actual source for the player which is xml.

I actually need to hire a js/flash guy to help me with this. This is definitely out of my league.

Know anyone interested in an afternoon's worth...?
