swfobject with html-class?

Question

hey guys, is there any parameter where i could apply a classname to a swfobject?

    <script type="text/javascript">
        var params = { allowScriptAccess: "always" };
swfobject.embedSWF("http://www.youtube.com/v/j_aFmziaRdU&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;playerapiid=ytplayer_13", "ytplayer_13", "425", "365", "8", null, null, params);

    </script>

This gets rendered as <object ... Is there any chance where i could add a classname to this <object when creating it with swfobject? like <object class="classnam" ...

Answer 1

You use the attributes parameter (there is no direct link to the paragraph, open link and search for "STEP 3: Embed your SWF with JavaScript" headline) to assign an id or a class to the object. You could then use document.getElementById() to get the object, once it has been created. Or use #id or .classname from CSS, just the way you would expect it to work. Caution, though: attributes.class would cause an error (it's a reserved keyword), you have to use attributes.styleclass to set the classname.

Answer 2

You can alter you swfobject.js file, and manually add it there. Or do a manual embed, versus SWFObject. Also, typically SWFObject is inserted into a container div, you should also be able to insert a class there.

Hope this helps. I think that's what you were asking, if not, my bad.
