I started all over from and reencoded the .avi and recreated the .fla file. The pawnee.f4v, pawnee.swf, SkinUnderPlaySeekStop.swf and expressInstall.swf file reside in folder /movies. The test file, testdyn.php, is in the root folder and looks like this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http:// www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <head> <title>SWFObject dynamic embed</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="/js/swfobject.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> var flashvars = {}; var params = {}; var attributes = {}; params.play = "false"; params.loop = "false"; params.menu = "true"; params.quality = "autohigh"; params.wmode = "windows"; params.base ="/"; swfobject.embedSWF("/movies/pawnee.swf", "alternative", "400", "300", "9", flashvars, params, attributes); </script> </head> <body> <div id=alternative> <h1>Alternative content</h1> <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer";><img src="/images/getflash.gif" alt="Get Flash player" /></a></p> </div> </body> </html> The video plays ok but the skin doesn't show and it starts automatically in spite of the 'play' parameter. A little step forward but still things that don't work.
