Embedding Flash Object via ‘Write Page’ – WP 2.0.5

Will one of the plugins from this thread work maybe? Or, maybe one of the threads from this search result will help? Good luck!

I can’t find it now, but whooami posted a reply on something similar before.. if she comes around, maybe she can point you in the right direction too! ?? ??

UPDATE: Here’s the thread.. Good luck!

Thanks spencerp!

whooami answer works well.

FYI, If anybody else finds this thread the answer is to not use the <embedd> tages. Do this instead:


<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="https://path-to/movie.swf" class="movie" width="300" height="250">
<param name="movie" value="https://www.path-to/movie.swf" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="ffffff" />
<img src="https://path-to/noflash.gif" width="300" height="163" alt="No flash installed" title="No flash installed" class="image" />
</object>


Thanks again!
Matt
PS: WP rocks, bye bye Blogger!

Glad to hear it worked! Can you change the status of this thread to [Resolved] now… ?? ??

whenever i do th is, wordpress puts the object tags together and removes anything i have in the object tag.’

this is the code i put into my post
<object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” data=”https://devel.videofly.com/videoplayer.swf?Playlist=https://devel.videofly.com/flvideo/103.flv&viewkey=final_fantasy__opening_-_video_-_2007-06-01-18-13-33&#8243; class=”movie” width=”425″ height=”350″>
<param name=”movie” value=”https://devel.videofly.com/videoplayer.swf?Playlist=https://devel.videofly.com/flvideo/103.flv&viewkey=final_fantasy__opening_-_video_-_2007-06-01-18-13-33&#8243; />
<param name=”bgcolor” value=”ffffff” />
<img src=”https://path-to/noflash.gif&#8221; width=”425″ height=”350″ alt=”No flash installed” title=”No flash installed” class=”image” />
</object>

and after i hit save, and look at it again this is the code that shows up

<object height=”350″ width=”425″></object>

<param name=”movie” value=”https://devel.videofly.com/videoplayer.swf?Playlist=https://devel.videofly.com/flvideo/103.flv&viewkey=final_fantasy__opening_-_video_-_2007-06-01-18-13-33″></param&gt;
<param name=”bgcolor” value=”ffffff”></param> <img src=”https://path-to/noflash.gif&#8221; alt=”No flash installed” class=”image” height=”350″ width=”425″ />

what’s the deal?
