flowplayer has a flv player ; it also has an alt (to swfobject) method of
placing flash media in a page.
passing this as the flashvars object to may make it work
{'clip': 'http://vod01.netdna.com/vod/demo.flowplayer/
flowplayer-700.flv<http://vod01.netdna.com/vod/demo.flowplayer/flowplayer-700.flv>'
}
inspecting the output in firebug should provide clues;
