show flash using original canvas size dimensions

Question

I have a generalized media player web app that I wish to be able to use flash in. The client uploads the flash to a particular directory, and a webpage is produced automatically that houses that flash file. The output of this process currently looks something like this:

<OBJECT id="flashContent" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000">
<PARAM value="always" name="allowScriptAccess" />
<PARAM value="#FFFFFF" name="bgcolor" />
<PARAM value="opaque" name="wmode" />
<PARAM value="high" name="quality" />
<PARAM value="test.swf" name="movie" />
</OBJECT>

I am trying to get the flash to display using the original canvas size (540 x 400 by default) but every time I load this in chrome I get 300 x 150 and in IE the box is square.

Any idea how to get it to render using the flash canvas size?

forget about raw embedding, use js wrapper:

snippet is below:

<script type="text/javascript">

var flashvars = {};
var params = {};
var attributes = {};

swfobject.embedSWF("myContent.swf", "myContent", "540", "400", "9.0.0","expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);

</script>
