Can't get my head round modifying these rounded corners/nested divs etc.!

Following on from my previous thread on rounded corners with CSS. I used the link kindly supplied (this) which works an absolute treat.

However I need to modify part of my design to have transparent PNGs on the corners, as the background is going to be a Flash video.

Looking at the following code, I need to keep the red background as it is, but lose the 'edges' that show up beneath the transparent PNGs (outside the corners).

I'm assuming I probably need to add another nested DIV or two across the top and bottom 'strips' of red, but I can't figure it out. What I essentially want to do is be able to change the red background colour, without seeing it behind the PNGs. Does that make sense? If not it probably will if you download the file :p

Code:
<html>
<head>
	<title>test</title>
	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
	<meta name="author" content="" />
	<meta name="keywords" content="" />
	<meta name="description" content="" />
	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="test.css" media="screen" charset="utf-8" />
</head>
<body>

<div class="roundedcornr_box_313069">

   <div class="roundedcornr_top_313069"><div></div></div>
     
     <div class="roundedcornr_content_313069">

Many thanks in advance!!
