  How can one manage to fet a flash movie “swf” playing in the blog ?
  My frind has a banner made in flash and he wants to post it in my blog, but it seems impossible

  but everytime i place a <object> or <embed> tag it just disappears

  Is this all just because you’re selling the “Video Upgrade” !?
  Ridiculous :(

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  It’s not ridiculous, and it not a selling pitch:

  Flash and Other Embeds
  
  Flash and all other embeds are not allowed in WordPress.com posts, pages, or text widgets. For security reasons we remove the tags needed for these to work. Your intentions may be innocent but someone somewhere would try to damage the site, affecting all of our users.
  
  There are several safe ways to post Videos, Audio, and other items to your WordPress.com blog.

  Flash cannot be added to a WordPress.com blog, for security reasons. I suggest you upload it to an approved platform, like YouTUbe, and then use that link to put it in the blog.
