JWPlayer Function pause() and stop() aren't working?

I've been trying to pause the player when the onReady() event is fired but nothing happens and the player will just play the video.

I added in an alert to test if the onReady() event was being called, and it was the alert message appeared.

But When I try to pause or stop the video nothing happens, I've tested seek(), and setFullscreen() and they work fine.

I even download a new file straight from the developer section, but the issue still exists.

I've checked the console and no JavaScript issues show up.

Any ideas on this?

Works OK for me...

bc.. <script src="jwplayer.min.js"></script>

<div id="media">Player loading...</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
jwplayer('media').setup
(
{
'file': 'http://test.videodetective.net/svideo-mp4-750/mp4/750/3116/130893.mp4?c=025469&r=750&s=130893&d=152&sub=&ref=&fmt=4&e=20110107210326&h=0f80f2f4e77ff07b2e10e',

'volume': '90',
'autostart': 'false'
}
);
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
jwplayer().onReady
(
function()
{
alert('Player Ready');
functionCallTest();
}
);


function functionCallTest()
{
alert('functionCallTest');
//jwplayer().pause(true);
jwplayer().play(true);
//jwplayer().seek(60); //...can't seek unless you're using a streaming server
};
</script>

Tested on many browsers; many operating systems.

Ifbc.. jwplayer().pause(true);
(active), the player always pauses.

Ifbc.. //jwplayer().pause(true);
(inactive), the player never pauses.

End of story...
