Anyone able to spot out my problem with this ?

<object width="100%" height="100%" id="_005790186" data=http://www.tormented.tv/flowplayer/flowplayer-3.1.4.swf?0.19144319380826985" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="movie" value=http://www.tormented.tv/flowplayer/flowplayer-3.1.4.swf?0.19144319380826985" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="flashvars" value='config={"clip":{"url":http://www.tormented.tv/videos/Halestorm_-_I_Get_Off.flv"},"playlist":[{"url":"http://www.tormented.tv/videos/Halestorm_-_I_Get_Off.flv"}]}' /></object>

Am i asking in the wrong place or what? Where do i get help for the plugin i installed . If there is something wrong with what i have dont please tell me . If everyone is stumped please also tell me.

I have been comparing my nonworking html code with the working exapmple from the flowplayer.org site. What i have noticed first is this part.

this is from my code

data=http://www.tormented.tv/flowplayer/flowplayer-3.1.4.swf?0.634613851959615" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">

What is alll the #'s after the .swf part ?
when i look at the flowplayer example it does NOT have any such numbers

(from the example)

data=http://flowplayer.org/swf/flowplayer-3.1.4.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">

These numbers are displayed in 2 parts of my code? Could this be part of a problem ?

oooooo and MINE has a "?" after the word .swf !! :( Whats up with that?

A couple of things here:

1. PLEASE post code with the <code> tags. When you post your code as text parts get mangled, and it is impossible to determine what you're doing.

2. I tried your object code and it works fine (tested with IE7 and FF 3.0.x on XP):

3. The ? and numbers means you have the default cache-busting left on. See the documentation about how to turn it off.

Yea i know i should use code tags but didnt see the option. Now i know. Thank you :)
very interesting on the cache thing. From the blog you posted it sounds like thats something that should be enabled so im not sure if thats what would be causing my issue or not. I am curious tho. I am trying to embed the code into myspace.com the example code from the video here on the flowplayer site works fine...mine shows just a white box. Would you think that the cache would be worth trying disabled?

I guess i was wrong. Neither of the codes can be embeded on myspace....That sux! .
Can we fix it ?

It's not my blog. I am not associated with Flowplayer.

The MySpace problem has been detailed before. Do a forum search and you'll see some discussions about it. Apparently MySpace does not allow the configuration strings that Flowplayer uses.

I am not a MySpace user so I don't know if there is a workaround.

On the cache string, the embed plugin shouldn't be passing the random number to the embed output. I'd consider that a bug. You may wish to post it in the Bug Report section.
