Im using this http://www.flashxml.net/3d-carousel-menu.html[^]

I have managed to insert my own background image behind the carousel, but i cannot do it also on the page that its embedded on with this:

XML

<body "background-image: url(qpq.jpg);">

nor with this:
<script type="text/javascript">

window.addEvent('domready',function(){

window.addEvents({
// fire when the DOM is loaded
domready: function(){
// path to the image
var pathToBackgroundImage = 'x11.jpg';
// set the background-image
$(document.body).setStyle('background-image','url(' + pathToBackgroundImage + ')');

}

});

</script>

This is my source code for page in question:

XML

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"><head><title></title>



<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

var flashvars = {};

var params = {};

params.scale = "noscale";

params.salign = "tl";

params.wmode = "transparent";

var attributes = {};

swfobject.embedSWF("3DCarouselMenuFX.swf", "CarouselDiv", "600", "400", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params, attributes);

</script>


</head>

<body "background-image: url(images/02.jpg);">

<div style="border: 1px solid black; background-image: url(images/02.png); height: 400px; width: 600px;">

<div id="CarouselDiv"></div>

</div>

<div id="CarouselDiv"> <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"> <img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" /> </a> </div>

<span style="z-index: 2; left: 602px; top: 0px; position: absolute;"><iframe name="I1" src="../innext.html" frameborder="0" height="415" scrolling="no" width="760">Your

browser does not

support inline frames or is currently configured

not to display inline frames.</iframe></span>

</body></html>

i strongly suspect that i have just placed the second method in the wrong place. i went to flashxml for help but they said as its not the bg image inside carousel there not assisting with that..so i'm here. please help.

XML

}
</style>
