  I’m trying to use embeed code “see below” and wordpress keeps changing the code and it doesn’t work at all. Does anybody know how to resolve this? Thanks!

  <object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” data=”http://www.collegehumor.com/moogaloop/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1815979&fullscreen=1″ width=”480″ height=”360″ ><param name=”allowfullscreen” value=”true” /><param name=”movie” quality=”best” value=”http://www.collegehumor.com/moogaloop/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1815979&fullscreen=1″ /></object><div style=”padding:5px 0; text-align:center; width:480px;”>See more funny videos and funny pictures on CollegeHumor</div>

  this is what it looks like when i save it on wordpress

  <div style=”text-align:center;width:480px;padding:5px 0;”>See more funny videos and funny pictures on CollegeHumor</div>

  That’s because flash cannot be used here. (Nor can we use frames or javascript.) Try to find something with plain HTML.

  Not quiet true vivianpage-you can embed certain videos.

  The list seems to be growing all the time. Yay wp!

  Funny – the first part of that link says
  < blockquote>Can I add flash? video? Embed other media?

  For security reasons we remove the tags needed for the above.
  Which means you can’t add flash. Now, some of the items the folks at wp.com have made their own embed codes for, but you still cannot use flash directly, which is what was stopping the original poster from using that code.

  Trying again (left off the ending blockquote)

  Hmm – something’s happening with

  blockquotes

  The end of the quote is after the word “above.”

  Thanks for your answers. A bit frustrating that I can’t use javascript and embeed a flash file.
