SwfObject not setting bgcolor in IE

Question

I am trying to create a flash object using SwfObject javascript. It how ever works well with FF and chrome, but it doesnt display the background colour

---

My JS Code

 var swfWidth = "500";
 var swfHeight = "500";
 var swfBgColor = "#ff0000";

 var flashVersion = '9.0.0'
 var flashvars = false;
 var params = { bgcolor:swfBgColor };
 var attributes = {};

 swfobject.embedSWF(swfUrl, "kcSwf", swfWidth, swfHeight, flashVersion, "/resources/expressInstall.swf", flashvars, attributes, params);

---

This is the output that it gives on my IE for the above code.

It does set the bgcolor property on the tag, however it doesnt set the bgcolor in the tag (see below)

<OBJECT style="VISIBILITY: visible" id=kcSwf classid=clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000 width=620 height=540 bgcolor="F8F8F8"><PARAM NAME="_cx" VALUE="16404"><PARAM NAME="_cy" VALUE="14287"><PARAM NAME="FlashVars" VALUE="">

:) i think that was pretty silly of my the post a question and answer it myself :)

well it was a silly issue, but may be it might just help some one some day. I had messed up with the sequence of attributes & params

Wrong sequence

swfobject.embedSWF(swfUrl, "kcSwf", swfWidth, swfHeight, flashVersion, "/resources/expressInstall.swf", flashvars, attributes, params);

Right sequence

swfobject.embedSWF(swfUrl, "kcSwf", swfWidth, swfHeight, flashVersion, "/resources/expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);
