If you’re having this problem, it’s more than likely a conflict with another plug-in you have installed that’s using the jQuery library. Check your headers for any plug-in that loads a jQuery script after the flightbox jQuery and disable that one to see if the lightbox works (it should).
Unfortunately, I’m not too familiar with how jQuery loads or how to modify the plug-in code to get this to work well with other plug-ins. Maybe the developer can shed some light on this.
