I'm trying to get the Longtail JW Player working (for playing .flv files on a website).

PROBLEM: when i press play the audio starts but the video does not. if i press it again then the video comes in... but that's no good.

CODE:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;
<head>

    <title>JW Player for Flash</title>

</head>
<body>

    <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
     swfobject.registerObject("player","9.0.98","expressInstall.swf");
    </script>

    <object id="player" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" name="player" width="468" height="262">
     <param name="movie" value="player-licensed.swf" />
     <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
     <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
     <param name="flashvars" value="file=Bioshphere-Museum-of-Water.flv&image=preview.jpg" />
     <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="player-licensed.swf" width="468" height="262">
      <param name="movie" value="player-licensed.swf" />
      <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
      <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
      <param name="flashvars" value="file=video.flv&image=preview.jpg" />
      <p><a href="http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer"&gt;Get Flash</a> to watch this video.</p>
     </object>
    </object>

</body>
