Ok i have a flash file for every day of the month and would like to have some javascript that changes the file rather than update the html everyday.

This is what i have and it’s not working for some reason. any help is greatly appreciated.

\<script language=“JavaScript”\>  
var now = new Date();  
var daynum = now.getDate();  
document.write(’\<param name=“movie” value="/image/tree\_0’ + daynum + ‘.swf"\>’);  
\</script\>

and

\<script language=“JavaScript”\>  
var now = new Date();  
var daynum = now.getDate();  
document.write(’\<embed wmode=“transparent” src"/image/tree\_0’ + daynum + ‘.swf" quality=“high” pluginspage=“[http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer](http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer)” type=“application/x-shockwave-flash” width=“390” height=“431”\>’);  
\</script\>
