CS 5 exports two pages at a time instead of one.

Question

I copied the following script from the Internet into notepad, saved it, and renamed it "spreads.jsx". I put it into my scripts file. It didn't do anything. app.interactivePDFExportPreferences.exportReaderSpreads = !app.interactivePDFExportPreferences.exportReaderSpreads
I removed the facing pages check. My pages still exported two pages to a page. I then created a new document without the facing pages checked. I copied the 21 of my original file into the new file. It still exported two pages on one.
>The only way to get non-facing pages to stick together is to disable page shuffling and drag them together in the Pages Panel, and that
won't happen accidentally.
I turned off shuffling, and that didn't help either. It was unclear what to drag in the Pages Panel.
I'm now past my deadline for the newsletter and can use anybody's help so that I get an output in .pdf for single pages, so people can print out the file and have a single page on a single sheet.

First, here is my screen shot of the resulting .pdf file from exporting my 21 page document
Second, here is the screen shot of my pages panel.
Next, the export dialogue:
Here is the scripts dialogue box.

Someone, maybe you, suggested I start a new thread about the video. I 
posted it to the forum under:
"I solved the export single page issue and now my videos won't work." Here 
is the text:
I have  windows 7 for 64 bit. 
I ran  a script on my InDesign CS 5 document to solve the problem with two
pages  appearing on one .pdf file.  When I  clicked on it, here is what I
get “Spreads are now ON in Interactive PDF  Preferences.”
I get  two pages stuck together in my interactive .pdf file. I don’t want
that because  it prints to pages on a single sheet and I want each page to
print separately.  However, my three .f4v videos appear the way I want and run
perfectly, even  though I got the error message, “One or more interactive
elements are clipped in  ways that PDF files cannot reproduce. Those elements
will be adjusted in the  exported PDF. “ 
When I  click on the script again, it says, “Spreads are now OFF in
Interactive PDF  Preferences.”
The  pages are the way I want. Now my videos don’t behave. Video 1 vanished
into a  red border with blank inside. Video 2 has moved half way up the
page, covering  two photos, but it plays. Video 3 has just white space in its
position. 
Next,  I tried another script. When I ran it I got the message, “Shuffling
pages will  remove some page transitions. To avoid this message in the
future, uncheck allow  Document Pages to Shuffle in the Pages panel. Select OK to
continue.” I hit okay  several times and the message kept appearing again
and again. I finally clicked  “Don’t show again” and it went away. I got the
same error message as before. The  videos are all screwed up, like before.
I  toggled that script and exported again, and got the same error message.
This  time, as before, the videos were messed up, but this time one of the
videos was  off the page, but played. 
Is  there any way I can keep one page to one in the .pdf AND have my videos
work?

Lou,
In order to properly diagnose your problem it is  ESSENTIAL that ID is
behaving in a known and predictable way. This means  that if you ran the
first script, the one that Stix recommended, and ran  it only once and then
deleted it, you MUST reinstall the script, and run  it again to reset the
export behavior to spreads so we know what's going  on. You should see a
new
dialog telling you that exporting spreads is  active when the script runs.
Until you do that, we really can't  tell where the problems with things
moving might be coming  from.
I design for print, and I've been working with InDesign  since it was first
released, switching my production work from Quark  Xpress to InDesign when
ID
2.0 was released about 10 years ago. Before  going freelance as a designer
I
worked a few years in print shops learning  from other people's mistakes
(and
learning how to fix most of them), and  did some newspaper and magazine
production. Quite a bit of what I know  about InDesign I've actually
learned
here. For the first few years I read  every post, and if I didn't already
know the answer I tried to figure it  out. Even now, though, I usually
learn
something new at least once a  week.
As I just mentioned, I design for print, so the interactive  stuff is a bit
murky for me, too, but if we can get you to a known state  and see if
things
are where they belong, someone who does interactives all  the time may be
able to help more. I don't know about the warning you get,  but I suspect
it
is  significant.
