At my wits end with this.

```auto

[COLOR=Red] **<head>** [/COLOR]
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
        [COLOR=Red]**var params = {
        menu: "false",
        wmode: "transparent"
        };**[/COLOR]
        swfobject.embedSWF("splash.swf", "splash", "990", "781", "9.0.0", "expressInstall.swf", [COLOR=Red] **params** [/COLOR]);
        </script>
[COLOR=Red] **</head>** [/COLOR]

[COLOR=Red] **<body>** [/COLOR]
<div id="splash">
            <h1>Alternative content</h1>
            <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" /></a></p>
        </div>
[COLOR=Red] **</body>** [/COLOR]

```

Using the ‘dynamic publishing’ method to embed swfs now, with [COLOR=Red] **SWFobject** [/COLOR], in an attempt to solve a beyond irritating problem with SWF object where I get an annoying grey outline around SWFs when you click on them.

I’m trying to add the menu=false and wmode=transparent parameters to the swf (see the above code).

I thought I was doing it right… as far as the documentation [here](http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/documentation) goes…

But it isn’t working. The menu is still there and the background isn’t transparent.

Can someone please point me in the right direction? I’m about to shoot someone here.
