In HTML you use the <PARAM> inside an <OBJECT> tag like so:

<OBJECT ID="MediaPlayer1" WIDTH=320 HEIGHT=240
  CLASSID="CLSID:22D6f312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
  STANDBY="Loading Windows Media Player components..."
  TYPE="application/x-oleobject">

  <PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="C:\ASFRoot\Welcome.asf">
  <PARAM NAME="ShowControls" VALUE="False">
  <PARAM NAME="AutoRewind" VALUE="True">
  <PARAM NAME="AutoStart" VALUE="False">
</OBJECT>

I set the property;
<PARAM NAME="UserID" VALUE=?????>
Can a varible be used ? such as;

I would do it through script and not the PARAM tag:

    document.all("MediaPlayer1").FileName = "foo.avi"
