According to the W3C DOM secification for the HTMLParam element, that 
should work:
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/WD-DOM-Level-1-20000929/level-one-html.html#ID-64077273>

If you have problems, try changing (for example)

    flash_param.name = "movie";

to

    flash_param.setAttribute("name", "movie");

but the way you have it should, in principle, work.

HTH,

Nick.
