I'm not sure if this will work, but you could try setting the src with JavaScript. Ie, 

var txt1 = "h47fNaOb-JU";document.getElementById("player").src = "https://www.youtube.com/v/u1zgFlCw8Aw?version=3&feature=player_embedded&autoplay=1&playlist="+txt1+",ma9I9VBKPiw&feature=player_embedded";

...and give the embed object an id:<embed id='player' src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"> Note: You'll need to make sure that the script is placed either in a onload handler or after the embed element or you'll get an undefined error saying that the element with id='player' doesn't exist.

I Did the changes as you suggested, although im not sure what is missing, I also supplied a function to allow for an onload event, as to my limited understanding anyway.

<script type="text/javascript">function init(){var txt1 = "h47fNaOb-JU";document.getElementById("player").src = "[url="https://www.youtube.com/v/u1zgFlCw8Aw?version=3&feature=player_embedded&autoplay=1&playlist="]https://www.youtube.com/v/u1zgFlCw8Aw?version=3&feature=player_embedded&autoplay=1&playlist="+txt1+",ma9I9VBKPiw&feature=player_embedded[/url]";}window.onload=init;<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="[url="https://www.youtube.com/v/u1zgFlCw8Aw?version=3&feature=player_embedded&autoplay=1&playlist=h47fNaOb-JU,ma9I9VBKPiw&feature=player_embedded"]https://www.youtube.com/v/u1zgFlCw8Aw?version=3&feature=player_embedded&autoplay=1&playlist=h47fNaOb-JU,ma9I9VBKPiw&feature=player_embedded[/url]"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed id='player' src="[url="https://www.youtube.com/v/u1zgFlCw8Aw?version=3&feature=player_embedded&autoplay=1&playlist="]https://www.youtube.com/v/u1zgFlCw8Aw?version=3&feature=player_embedded&autoplay=1&playlist="+txt1+",ma9I9VBKPiw&feature=player_embedded[/url]" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></object></script>

Follow ShadowMages example for setting the src. His

I don't know where are the extra source stuff is coming from unless they were put there from the forum. You should also be checking for errors in the console. also, all your HTML code for the object/embed is the javacript <script> tags. That's not where it belongs. You need to put in between the <body></body> tags somewhere on your page.
