jQuery Media Plugin Creates Object Without an ID Attribute

jQuery Media Plugin Creates Object Without an ID Attribute

I am using the jQuery media plugin ( http://jquery.malsup.com/media/ ) along with the ElementIT Flash Uploader ( http://www.element-it.com/multiple-file-upload/flash-uploader.aspx ). I am using an old version of the uploader (v 1.7) but everything has been working great, until I updated the jQuery media plugin to the latest version.

Once the media plugin embeds the flash object, it is missing the ID attribute. 
  2. $("#flashloader").media({
  3.         width:     350, 
  4.         height:    210, 
  5.         autoplay:  true, 
  6.         src:       'includes/ElementITMultiPowUpload1.7.swf', 
  7.         attrs:     { id:  'FlashFileUpload' }, // object/embed attrs 
  8.         params:    { bgColor: '#ffffff', Quality: 'High', AllowScriptAccess: 'Always', SeamlessTabbing: '1', wmode: 'transparent' }, // object params/embed attrs 
  9.         flashvars: {    uploadUrl: '<?php echo htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?>', 
  10.                         redirectUploadUrl: 'files.php',
  11.                         labelUploadVisible: 'No',
  12.                         uploadButtonVisible: 'No',
  13.                         backgroundColor: '#FFFFFF',
  14.                         listTextSelectedColor: '#000000',
  15.                         listBackgroundColor: '#FFFFFF',
  16.                         listSelectionColor: '#DFE7F2',
  17.                         listUploadedColor: '#DFE7F2',
  18.                         listRollOverColor: '#ffffcc',
  19.                         useExternalInterface: 'yes',
  20.                         filesListX: '2',
  21.                         filesListY: '30',
  22.                         progressBarX: '7',
  23.                         progressBarY: '155',
  24.                         labelInfoX: '7',
  25.                         labelInfoY: '160' },
  26.         caption:   false // supress caption text    
  27.     });
Here is the object it creates (missing the ID attribute)
  1. <object width="350" height="210" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" data="https://localhost/ssp/includes/ElementITMultiPowUpload1.7.swf" codebase="https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
Here is some additional HTML:
  2. <!DOCTYPE HTML>
  3. <html>
  4. <head>
  5. <meta charset="utf-8">
  6. <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />

Since I specifying an ID, I'm not sure it is not making it as an attribute for the object element.
  1. attrs:     { id:  'FlashFileUpload' }, // object/embed attrs 

Any recommendations?
