Try:

obj.style.backgroundImage
hyphens are not allowed in JavaScript identifiers. As a general rule
when dealing with style attributes, drop the hyphen and capitalise the
first character of the next word.

Syntax is: obj.style.backgroundImage
No dash -- uppercase I.
The dash was interpretted as a minus sign -- Subtract the variable
"image" -- and you get "image" is undefined.

That is not entirely true. The hyphen is in fact a minus which acts as
an operator in JS, and operator whitespace is optional. That is why it
cannot be part of an identifier.
