changing Flash parameters in Netscape

[KarterJK]

Hi to all,
I am tyring to write a javascript that will automatically change a Flash background color.
It works great in IE but I have tried all sorts of things in Netscape and it still eludes me how to access the bgcolor parameter value in the embed code

HERE IS THE FUNCTION where nn = netscape browser

function doPassVar(args){
if (browser == 'nn'){
document.FlashTest.bgcolor = args;
} else {
window.document.getElementById('FlashTest').bgcolor = args;
}
}

HERE IS THE EMBED CODE - its wimplayer at

http://www.wimpyplayer.com

<embed NAME="FlashTest" src="wimpy.swf?wimpyApp=wimpy.php&backgroundColor=#ffffff displayDownloadButton=yes&infoDisplayTime=3&defaultPlayRandom=yes&startPlayingOnload=yes&popUpHelp=yes" width="100%" height=140 quality="140" bgcolor=#ffffff
pluginspage="

http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"

type="application/x-shockwave-flash" swLiveConnect="true">
</embed>

AND THE HREF

<a href="#" onclick="doPassVar('#414141');"><font color=#ebebeb>Steel</font></a>

Thaks ahead of time

I forgot to add this
it is the object code so IE will work


<object ID="FlashTest" classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="

http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,47,0"

width="100%" height=<?php echo $width1 ?>>
<param name="movie" value="wimpy.swf?wimpyApp=wimpy.php&backgroundColor=<?php echo $ncolor ?>&displayDownloadButton=yes&infoDisplayTime=3&defaultPlayRandom=yes&startPlayingOnload=yes&popUpHelp=yes">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="bgcolor" value=<?php echo $ncolor ?>>
