Hey guys,
I really don't know what I am missing here...
I've checked my metadata, the xmoov is working properly when i access it directly, the video loads properly. it just doesn't seek...
any ideas?

You don't need this embed element. SWFObject is fully cross-browser compliant.
<embed src="jwplayer/player.swf" width="550" height="350" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="type=http&streamer=http://www.dfwsda.org/newsite/xmoov.php&file=0002.flv" /> You are not really using the xmoov script. In fact, if you make this request in your browser:http://www.dfwsda.org/newsite/xmoov.php&file=naotardara.flv&start=0you will get back an error message stating:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>300 Multiple Choices</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
<H1>Multiple Choices</H1>
The document name you requested (<code>/newsite/xmoov.php&file=naotardara.flv&start=0 -O naotardara.flv) could not be found on this server.
However, we found documents with names similar to the one you requested.<p>Available documents:
<ul>
<li><a href="/newsite/xmoov.php">/newsite/xmoov.php</a> (common basename)
</ul>
</BODY></HTML>
You may need to adjust the file path at the beginning of the xmoov script. Normally, the script is in the same directory as your video files, so you would use:define('XMOOV_PATH_FILES', './');
Or if the xmoov script is one directory above your video files, you would use:define('XMOOV_PATH_FILES', './vod/');
You should get the xmoov script working independently of the player, so that you get an FLV file if you make the request in your browser.
Next, you need to adjust your JavaScript player embedding code. See the documentation for HTTP Streaming here: http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/wiki/FlashFormats#HTTPStreaming
<div id='mediaspace'>This text will be replaced</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject('jwplayer/player.swf', 'mpl', '550', '350', '9.0.124');
so.addParam('allowfullscreen', 'true');
so.addParam('allowscriptaccess', 'always');
so.addVariable('streamer', 'http://www.dfwsda.org/newsite/vod/xmoov.php');
so.addVariable('file', 'naotardara.flv');
so.addVariable('type', 'http');
so.write('mediaspace');
</script>

ummmmmm. it seems to me the xmoov is working.
I think it wasnt loading for you because tried to access
http://www.dfwsda.org/newsite/xmoov.php&file=naotardara.flv&start=0
instead of
http://www.dfwsda.org/newsite/xmoov.php<strong>?</strong>file=naotardara.flv&start=0
lol.
I have the player now in js and i still am not getting the seeking function i need... :/
any more ideas?

Your FLV file naotardara.flv is missing the metadata array of time/byte-position that is required for pseudostreaming FLV files. Use FLVMDI, flvtool2, flvtool, flvmeta or one of the other available tools to create and inject the metadata.
