swfobject not working?

Question

hey guys, i wonder what i'm doing wrong.

index.html

<script src="swfobject/swfobject.js"type="text/javascript"></script>

<div class="post">
    <script type="text/javascript">

        var params = { allowScriptAccess: "always" };
        var atts = { id: "myytplayer" };
        swfobject.embedSWF("http://www.youtube.com/e/GfugtAWxooU?enablejsapi=1&playerapiid=ytplayer",
                           "ytapiplayer", "425", "356", "8", null, null, params, atts);

      </script>
</div>

my swfobject folder is in the same directory as my index.html. Why can't i see anything. I've already tested in online (not just local). http://jsfiddle.net/RsJbv/

thank you

You are dynamically embedding a youtube video by swfobject. You need an element with id ytapiplayer that will "wrap" the video. Basically, you have to say to swfobject where to load the swf => http://jsfiddle.net/steweb/czEF9/

swfobject.embedSWF("SWFURL","elementID", "width", "height", "8", null, null, params, atts);

elementID is the id of your DOM element (it MUST exists) ;)
