Hey there…

Is it possible to target and style the div that swfobject (2.1) creates to display flash content?

Basically I want to be able to set a background image to appear in a header div, and then load a tranparent swf file over the top using swfobject. But swfobject doesnt seem to have any reference to the div that it creates when displaying flash content… only the alternate content div.

Cheers 🙂
