Flashembed conflict with jquery.cycle plugin Created Nov 20, 2009

I use the jquery tools a fair amount and love what it can do. I also like the jquery.cycle plugin for slideshows. I have a site that is trying to use both on the same page. It works fine in FF, but not on IE8. You get a 'constructor' is null or not an object error from jquery.cycle, but it I do not use flashembed it works fine - so it seems to be a conflict and I am hoping that you can help.

BOTH WORK IN FF

Here is a page with both turned on and it errors:
http://d352896.host30.mastifftech.com/services2

Here is a page with flashembed not turned on (but jquery tools with flashembed is still loaded) and the cycle plugin works:
http://d352896.host30.mastifftech.com/services

Any ideas? It seems like flashembed overwrites a variable that cycle uses.

x3.js is my code and it loads flashembed from the swfinsert function and uses some on dom load logic to determine what needs to run.

Our systems are built so that we can use simple html tags with classes and metadata to fire off things like cycle, flashembed, video, etc. - but you can see this in firebug (where it does work).

Thanks,
