object-tag

I have an object tag in a HTML file:

<object classid="clsid:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95">
     <param name="FileName" value="../ABC/WildLife.wmv" id="mediaPlayerFile">
     <param name="AutoStart" value="false" />
</object>

I want to change the filename using javascript.

What I have so far is this:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function disp_current_directory() {
        var val = document.getElementById('mediaPlayerFile');
        val.attributes['value'].value = "D:\XYZ\WildLife.wmv";
    }

</script>

But this doesn't work. :(

Is it possible? If yes, how?
