FV WordPress Flowplayer : Object[object object] has no method 'play'

[halben]

First off, I'm working on a WordPress website. I'm having issue getting the video to play in the FV WordPress Flowplayer:

 

(1) auto play when the page loads

 

(2) Listen for the button click event (purposedly added the comment tag for testing either one)

 

 

Here's my code:

 

  

  var $j = jQuery.noConflict();


    $j(function(){


(1) $j('#post-1823.flowplayer').flowplayer().play();


(2) /*$j('#post-1823.flowplayer').flowplayer({
play: function(){
console.log('IT PLAYS!');
}
});*/
    });

The error I'm getting for (1) is "Uncaught TypeError: Object[object Object] has no method 'play'"

 

 

1. Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'play' - custom_scripts.js:33
   1. (anonymous function) - custom_scripts.js:33
   2. x.Callbacks.c   - jquery.js?ver=1.10.2:3
   3. x.Callbacks.p.fireWith - jquery.js?ver=1.10.2:3
   4. x.extend.ready - jquery.js?ver=1.10.2:3
   5. q

 

 

I'm thinking that it's not understanding any of the flowplayer api functions.

Can someone please assist me with these issues?

 

Thank you,
