Can the url or src of an embedded mediaplayer object be added dynamically at runtime?

I have a Sharepoint aspx page that I want to play a media file which is determined by the link that is clicked to navigate to the page.
So, if the user clicks the first link, it navigates to video_sandbox.aspx?pathtovideo.wmv
On the sharepoint page (video_sandbox.aspx) I use request.querystring to retrieve the path of the file and I want to then insert it as the src or url of the mediaplayer object. This doesn't seem to be working. I've tried writing it both via javascript and vbscript. I don't have access to the masterpage that the video page is based on so I can't put it in a script of that master. Any suggestions? I have posted the versions of my code below:

Javascript:
<Code>
// This works
var path = "/Videos/" + Request.QueryString("vid");
// this does Not work
document.all.vid.url = path;

</Code>

VBScript:
<Code>
Dim path
' This works
path = "/Videos/" & Request.QueryString("vid")
' this does Not work
document.all.vid.url = path

</Code>
