Embed external swf into worpdress.com blog??
-
Hello.
I’m trying to embed a .swf file into a free wordpress.com blog for a friend… I realise I can’t upload the swf into the media library, so I’ve put it onto some other hosting I have and reference it through <object> and <embed>.
Thing is, WordPress keeps stripping my code in the HTML editor. I told her I’d have it done by tomorrow – is it even possible?
Thanks for your help.

k, so i’ve discovered that <embed> and <object> are not allowed. can i use iframes? anything at all?
the swf is at http://letsgoglobal.tv/final.swf -

Javascript, flash, forms and iframes are not allowe here due to security concerns. You might be able to get it into the blog using vodpod though:

huh. no iframes either.
great.
unless someone comes up with a better solution that embeds (please, i’m desperately seeking an answer), guess i’ll have to write a page that hosts the swf externally, javascripts it open at the right size, and make a popup link from the free wordpress blog.
-
it’s not a video it’s just an interactive flash animation.
i’ll see if your suggestion works though, thanks sacredpath

vodpod worked a treat; i owe you a drink!
