[SWFObject] SWFObject with Express Install

Remove the quotes from "true" and you should be in good shape.

I’m a freelance designer who is only ankle deep in JS & ActionScript. I’ve been struggling to get Express Install to work and would appreciate any help I can get!
 
My SWF is a container for a progressive download video. WITHOUT Express Install, it's working fine:
http://www.silverlinecreative.com/clients/firstchoice/index_swfobject_only.html
 
When I add the Express Install option, everything works…except the SWF never starts playing:
www.silverlinecreative.com/clients/firstchoice/index_swfobject_express.html
 
Here’s what I’ve done…In my header, I included:
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
 
Where the SWF should appear, I included:
<div id="bcam_video">
<!-- this appears if user doesn't have JavaScript enabled, or doesn't have the required Flash Player version -->
<p>To view the BCAM video, please <br /><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer/" target="_blank">Install the latest Flash Player</a></p>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
var so = new SWFObject("bcam_video_exp.swf", "myMovie", "250", "230", "8", "#FFFFFF", "true");
so.write("bcam_video");
// ]]>
</script>
 
And in the first frame of my Flash file (thinking the problem lies here?), I included:
#include "expressinstall.as"
// initialize the ExpressInstall object
var ExpressInstall = new ExpressInstall();
// if the user needs to upgrade, show the 'start upgrade' button
if (ExpressInstall.needsUpdate) {
// this is optional, you could also automatically start the 
// upgrade by calling ExpressInstall.init() here instead of the following lines
// attach the custom upgrade message  ** NOTE: see notes in Upgrade Message movieclip re: types of content to use
            var upgradeMsg = _root.attachMovie("upgradeMsg_src", "upgradeMsg", 1);
            upgradeMsg._x = Stage.width / 2;
            upgradeMsg._y = Stage.height / 2;
            // attach the button actions that will start the ExpresInstall updater
            upgradeMsg.upgradeBtn.onRelease = function() {
                        ExpressInstall.init();
            }
            // if expressinstall is invoked, stop the timeline.
            stop();
}
 
Any ideas??
