How to load dynamic playlist into SWFobject (Flash Player)?

Quick question: How do I take the dynamic variables on my page, and load them into a Flash Player (SWFObject)?

Now, the long version with all the details of what I'm trying to do:


The JW Player (http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_FLV_Media_Player) SWFobject can be included on a web page to play audio and video files. I have it working on a page, if I send a single song or a single video file to the player, and that song or video file can be dynamic. It works slick, and all is well. (So you know I have the audio files uploaded correctly, as well as the required files for the player.)

So, I want to make the jump from one audio file to several audio files, in a playlist. Kind of like a musician's site on MySpace, where they have a static list of a few audio files, however, now I want to use a dynamic playlist. I want to configure an instance of the SWFobject to play multiple audio (MP3) files. Evidently, that is not a problem if the list is static, and you write out the "playlist" as an XML file, and that file satisfies a parameter of the SWF object to load the playlist.

Since I was able to load a single audio file or a single video file dynamically, I figured, hey what the heck, it would be easy to add a dynamic playlist. That was MANY, MANY hours ago, and I'm stuck.

Maybe I'm missing a semicolon, or a single quote - it seems like I am close to getting this!

I do not want to write out a "real" XML file to my server, and then read it back to glean the data, for a number of reasons, it will cause problems. Besides, I already have the dynamic data from a database and it is already on the page! It looks like the Player is geared up and ready for an XML file to parse its data. I'm thinking that a "real" XML file, and a chunk of text that appears identical to an XML file, should both "look" the same to the Player. If that is wrong, then I need to find a way to get dynamic data to the player another way.


The first big question is:
Can send a "fake" XML stream to the player, masquerading as an XML file? I altered my code so that the fake XML string looks like this:
==================================================
<playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/">
<trackList>
<track>
<location>http://www.MySite.org/Gallery/DennisLeahy/Wilderness.mp3</location>
<title>1</title>
</track>

<track>
<location>http://www.MySite.org/Gallery/DennisLeahy/DTL_TooManyBushesNotEnoughTrees.mp3</location>
<title>2</title>
</track>

<track>
<location>http://www.MySite.org/Gallery/DennisLeahy/DTL_AngelinasLullabye.mp3</location>
<title>3</title>
</track>

<track>
<location>http://www.MySite.org/Gallery/DennisLeahy/Great_Spirit_(Dennis_Leahy)_EQ2.mp3</location>
<title>4</title>
</track>
</trackList>
</playlist>

==================================================

And I see that it validates as valid XSPF (at http://validator.xspf.org/)

But, when I try the following:
==================================================
<script type='text/javascript' src='Videos/swfobject.js'></script>
<div id="audiofiles">This text is replaced by the player</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var strXSPF = '<%=strPlaylist%>';
var so = new SWFObject('Videos/player.swf','mpl','400','32','9');
so.addParam('allowscriptaccess', 'always');
so.addParam('allowfullscreen', 'false');
so.addVariable("file", strXSPF);
so.addVariable('playlist', 'bottom');
so.write('audiofiles');
</script>
==================================================
I get the player to show, but I get a 0: Error #2032 error, so I know the playlist is not loading.


If I fire the page, then view source, I see that the fake XML string looks perfect:

<script type='text/javascript' src='Videos/swfobject.js'></script>
<div id="audiofiles">File not found</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var strXSPF = var strXSPF = '<playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/"><trackList><track><location>http://www.MySite.org/Gallery/DennisLeahy/Wilderness.mp3</location><title>1</title></track><track><location>http://www.MySite.org/Gallery/DennisLeahy/DTL_TooManyBushesNotEnoughTrees.mp3</location><title>2</title></track><track><location>http://www.MySite.org/Gallery/DennisLeahy/DTL_AngelinasLullabye.mp3</location><title>3</title></track><track><location>http://www.MySite.org/Gallery/DennisLeahy/Great_Spirit_(Dennis_Leahy)_EQ2.mp3</location><title>4</title></track></trackList></playlist>';
var so = new SWFObject('Videos/player.swf','mpl','400','32','9');
so.addParam('allowscriptaccess', 'always');
so.addParam('allowfullscreen', 'false');
so.addVariable("file", strXSPF);
so.addVariable('playlist', 'bottom');
so.write('audiofiles');
</script><br>

==================================================
I have tried formatting the var strXSPF string within JavaScript several ways (removed the single quote delimiters surrounding the string, as well as including or excluding parts of a real XML header, and none of that seemed to help.

So, can someone help me figure out how to load a dynamic playlist into the JW Player?

Thanks for reading all of this!!
