Easiest way to embed Flash inside Wordpress
I was embedding my Flash inside the Wordpress posts with the html <object> tag. It was not only messy but also made it incompatible with the FireFox browser. My blog was completely unreadable in FireFox.
Luckily I stumbled across this Wordpress plugin called "Kimili Flash Embed for Wordpress" which make flash embedding as simple as writing this line:
CODE:
-
[kml_flashembed movie="movie.swf" width="550" height="400" /]
Thats all that is needed to embed the flash movie.swf with width of 550 and height of 400.
The plugin is based on flashObject and as such it takes advantage of many of it's features, listed here.
I found that if you embed the same flash twice in the same post, or the same flash in two different posts that show together in the same page you'll only be able to see one of it, the first from above.

There’s a new version of the plugin that takes care of this very issue.

Hello, my name is Jim and i have created plugin for WordPress
that it allows to insert SWFs in your WodrPress Blog. This Plugin
this plugin uses the SWFObject library. The use is very simple, this plugin
simply encloses the Javascript and insert code for insert SWFObject.
The form to insert SWF is:
[swf] pathtofile.swf, width, height[/swf]
You can see an explanation and example in: http://unijimpe.pandela.net/?p=18

how do u get a guys attension even when u seem invisible

Michelle, humans are complicated creatures, both towards others and towards themselves. Your invisibility could be due to any number of social complexities. Answers to these types of deep questions should be asked of those when the context is right, that is to say, of those who are offering the possibility of an answer.
Basically, what I’m trying to say is, you might as well be asking him movie trivia. Who the hell cares?

[...] This is the code I used to embed the Jajah flash widget inside this post using the Kimily Flash Embed wordpress plugin. There are more parameters you can add to make its colors look more like your style, check the editor for that. The Jajah Buttons Editor also gives you the code snippet suitable for your needs.

I made some updates to the plugin to support “click to activate” functionality. And also functionality to use the plugin to embed applets. More info and updated source at http://labs.superkrut.se/?p=14

I can’t get any kind of flash movie to play in my site on a page or post…
I dowloaded the much raved about Kimili plugin without success…
Can anyone help?
I put in the code into the HTML editor of a page/post like this:
and it doesn’t do anything, except display the above code in the post.
I’ve done some extensive internet searching, and haven’t found any useful information.
I’ve even emailed the person at that site, with no reply, or a reply to my post on their site.
I’ve tried others suggestions of using the embed tag, and the editor strips out the entire code.
Am I missing something?
The plugin is activated…
The box is unchecked in the options for visual text editor or whatever that problematic thingie is (why don’t they default to the box being unchecked? Or remove it all together, I can’t find a use for it. All it does is dis-allows me to put anything into the text editor)
Help! I’m pulling my hair out and have posted on a couple other people’s blogs, but nobody has any suggestions for me.
Thanks!

Wait…..how come it’s showing up in YOUR site….????? My post shows what I have been wanting on mine!! Weird!!! Help!!!
March 13th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
Interestingly enough, when I put the code into a text widget, it works! But I want it on an actual page/post, not in a sidebar widget.
Any ideas?

It was that stupid WSWG or whatever plugin for advanced editing controls. I deactivated it and now it works. Any idea on how to change that plugin to allow for the advanced controls, but also allow embeded flash files?

Will it works on flash header?
