Correct me if I am wrong.. but I *think* you're hinting at altering the
actual SWF -- which I theoretically could because it's an open source
project (flowplayer), although haven't setup the development bed yet. I
do not know if it is necessary? Here is what I am trying to accomplish;
Embed flowplayer in a hidden div (display:none). When you click a
"trigger", the div is made visible ($(div).show()) & the movie plays.
Using the "fq" method queueing system I was more or less able to
accomplish this with code similar to;
MARKUP;
<div style="display:none"><div id="fp"></div></div>
JS;
var fo = new SWFObject("flowplayer/FlowPlayer.swf", "FP", "730", "510");
...
fo.write("fp");
$('div:hidden').show().find('#FP').fq('DoPlay');
NOTE; Flowplayer allows you to interact with the SWF via JS (e.g. the DoPlay()
method).
You cannot interact with the movie, however, if it is hidden (display:none). Is
it *common* behavior to stop a flash movie when its container is hidden? Is
this cross browser/platform behavior?

The only reason I've used SWFObject is that was what the author's examples
used. I'll be switching to your jQ Flash plugin as soon as I get this sorted
out.
