I have constructed a page based on example "JW_API_xmpl_5-2-1-0.html". At first it did not work then I tried upgrading he swfobject.js file. This cured the problem for this page, but then rendered the JW Player inoperable on every other page, i.e the player does not appear at all. If I swap back to the original swfobject.js file the problem is reversed, yet every page is pointing at the same player.swf file. The obvious answer seems to be a player.swf/swfobject.js mismatch but I can't figure out what it is - so HELP!!!
Below is the code for the first page I mentioned:

For pages that require swfobject v2.x, like the one that you posted above, you can specify:
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject-2.js"></script>And for pages that require SWFObject v1.5, you can specify:
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject-1.5.js"></script>Then make sure that you have the two JavaScript files on your server.
Make sure that you keep the line of HTML code that loads the JS files all on one line to avoid troubles with Internet Explorer.
