Embed Flash in post?

Sorry to hog the forums with another bonehead question, but I'm having difficulty embedding a Flash banner from my portfolio in my posts.

Here's the Flash location as uploaded...
http://www.experiencebrettjackson.com/c ... _index.swf

Here's the first block of code that didn't work...

Code: Select all

<object id="flashcontent" width="778px" height="350px" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"><param name=wmode value="opaque"><param name="movie" value="http://www.experiencebrettjackson.com/content/work/DCComics/DC_index.swf" /><!--[if !IE]>--><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"data="http://www.experiencebrettjackson.com/content/work/DCComics/DC_index.swf"width="778px"height="350px"><!--<![endif]-->Fallback or 'alternate' content goes here.This content will only be visible if the SWF fails to load.<!--[if !IE]>--></object>
<!--<![endif]-->

Here's the second block of code that didn't work...

Code: Select all

<object id="FlashID" width="778" height="350" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"><param name="movie" value="http://www.experiencebrettjackson.com/content/work/DCComics/DC_index.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="wmode" value="opaque" /><param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" /><!-- This param tag prompts users with Flash Player 6.0 r65 and higher to download the latest version of Flash Player. Delete it if you don’t want users to see the prompt. --><param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" /><!-- Next object tag is for non-IE browsers. So hide it from IE using IECC. -->  <!--[if !IE]>-->  <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.experiencebrettjackson.com/content/work/DCComics/DC_index.swf" width="778" height="350"><!--<![endif]--><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="wmode" value="opaque" /><param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" /><param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" /><!-- The browser displays the following alternative content for users with Flash Player 6.0 and older. --><div><h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="112" height="33" /></a></div><!--[if !IE]>--></object>
<!--<![endif]-->
<script>// <![CDATA[
swfobject.registerObject("FlashID");
// ]]></script>

And I tried both "opaque" and "transparent" wmodes. What am I doing wrong here? Thanks in advance for the leg up.

Hi,

This code works properly:

Code: Select all

<object id="flashcontent"
 classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
 width="778px"
 height="350px">
 <param name="movie"value="http://www.experiencebrettjackson.com/content/work/DCComics/DC_index.swf"/>

 <!--[if!IE]>-->
 <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
 data="mymovie.swf"
 width="550px"
 height="400px">
 <!--<![endif]-->

 <p>
 Fallback or'alternate'content goes here.
 This content will only be visible ifthe SWF fails to load.
 </p>

 <!--[if!IE]>-->
 </object>
 <!--<![endif]-->

</object>


Make sure, that you are using post text editor (not the visual)

Thanks Piotr for the quick reply, but that didn't work.

Any other ideas?

but your flash content is visible here:

Interesting! Thanks for the speedy reply, Piotr. I think we're seeing different things.

When I visit the page in the newest Firefox with newest Flash plugin, I see no Flash content and this displays

"classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="778px" height="350px"> Fallback or’alternate’content goes here. This content will only be visible ifthe SWF fails to load. "

When I visit the page in the newest Chrome, the initial Flash content loads, but it loads tiny (disregarding the width/height tags) and the LoadMovie content (the polite second load) within that Flash doesn't load at all.

Any thoughts?

Maybe try to use some 3rd party plugin for your flash content e.g. Kimili Flash Embed, or please check the default theme like TwentyThirteen and let me know if it's the same problem.
