Changing Object Param value for embedded video file

After some research i discovered the best way to do this was rebuilding the entire object element in code in my switch case and adding it to the .html() property of the div which was successful.

function playVideo(x){
    $("#videoTable").attr("style","display:none;");
    $("#videoPlayer").attr("style","display:block;");
    $("#videoPlayer").html("");

    var videoToPlay = x;
    switch(videoToPlay){
        case 'tradingOverview':
            //alert(videoToPlay);
            var newElement = "<object id='objViewer' width='250' height='250' type='video/x-ms-asf' data='Wildlife.wmv' classid='CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6'><param name='url' value='Wildlife.wmv'><param name='filename' VALUE='Wildlife.wmv'><PARAM name='autostart' VALUE='0'><param name='uiMode' value='full'><param name='autosize' value='1'><param name='playcount' value='1'><EMBED TYPE='application/x-mplayer2' src='Wildlife.wmv' NAME='MediaPlayer' id='wmvViewer' autostart='false' WIDTH='250' HEIGHT='250' ShowControls='1' ShowStatusBar='0' ShowDisplay='0'></EMBED></OBJECT><br/><a onclick='returnVideos();'>Return to Videos</a>";
            $("#videoPlayer").html(newElement);
        break;
        case 'multiAccount':
            //alert(videoToPlay);
            var newElement = "<object id='objViewer' width='250' height='250' type='video/x-ms-asf' data='BabyBoyMainBackground.wmv' classid='CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6'><param name='url' value='BabyBoyMainBackground.wmv'><param name='filename' VALUE='BabyBoyMainBackground.wmv'><PARAM name='autostart' VALUE='0'><param name='uiMode' value='full'><param name='autosize' value='1'><param name='playcount' value='1'><EMBED TYPE='application/x-mplayer2' src='BabyBoyMainBackground.wmv' NAME='MediaPlayer' id='wmvViewer' autostart='false' WIDTH='250' HEIGHT='250' ShowControls='1' ShowStatusBar='0' ShowDisplay='0'></EMBED></OBJECT><br/><a onclick='returnVideos();'>Return to Videos</a>";
            $("#videoPlayer").html(newElement);
        break;
        case 'globalUnlock':        
            var newElement = "<object id='objViewer' width='250' height='250' type='video/x-ms-asf' data='Panel_Mask.wmv' classid='CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6'><param name='url' value='Panel_Mask.wmv'><param name='filename' VALUE='Panel_Mask.wmv'><PARAM name='autostart' VALUE='0'><param name='uiMode' value='full'><param name='autosize' value='1'><param name='playcount' value='1'><EMBED TYPE='application/x-mplayer2' src='Panel_Mask.wmv' NAME='MediaPlayer' id='wmvViewer' autostart='false' WIDTH='250' HEIGHT='250' ShowControls='1' ShowStatusBar='0' ShowDisplay='0'></EMBED></OBJECT><br/><a onclick='returnVideos();'>Return to Videos</a>";
            $("#videoPlayer").html(newElement);
            //alert(videoToPlay);
        break;
    }
