If you are using another javascript library, then dynamic publishing is most likely the way to go (that is why there are two publishing methods). It will give you much better control of if / when the swf file is written to the page.
Is there any particular reason you want to use static publishing? I think you are just running into code execution order issues.

It is only static publishing. Obviously I could just make the player visible, but I feel that that skips most of swfobject's goodness...
