add mediaplayer to Index promo banner area

hello

I want to add a media player (preferably something like http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-wmv-player/)

to the promo header field on Index. (dol6.1.6)

Although I successfully seem to add the player itself to banner area I cannot figure out where do i add the javascript call so that right scripts load with page header like the other scripts do. The install instructions are simple (above link) and I can get it to work in a static html page.

1. Where do I correctly inject the script call?

2. Do you suggest a different more flexible media player, i am looking for something easy and flexible with formats, resizing and implementation.

Here is the code i am injecting using Dolphin's Basic Settings HTML field, this example is using a MS WMP, it is interesting to note that the Param Values seem to be ignored, customization of player seems impossible.

I noticed when I embeded the MS WMP that the player was over the top of Dolphin pop up submenu, is this a z-index issue?

I looked at the link, I was thinking that if that software "invokes" the windows media player or microsoft silverlight on a windows based pc, it may not show up for visitors that run linux or mac/apple. One thing I have learned is to check whatever I'm using on my site that it's cross platform compatible.
