The scope of your youtubeurl variable exists only within the callback
function of your getJSON(). Set the variable outside first.
$(function(){
var youtubeurl;
$.getJSON('data.inc.json', function(j){
youtubeurl = j.video_url;
});
so = new SWFObject(youtubeurl, "TEST", "498", "278", "9.0.28",
"#000000", "true");
});
