Object embedding not working

    Hi, I am having problems when trying to embed an object into my blog (http:\biomech68.wordpress.com), I copy the embed code and paste it into the html tab as below;

    <param name=”bgcolor” value=”#ffffff” /> <embed src=”http://www.roughtraderecords.com/britishseapowerwidget/livingissoeasy.swf?myLoad=http://promo.roughtraderecords.com/britishseapower/livingissoeasy_stream.mp3″ quality=”high” bgcolor=”#ffffff” width=”300″ height=”430″ name=”videoplayer.prt1″ align=”middle” allowScriptAccess=”sameDomain” allowFullScreen=”true” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” pluginspage=”http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer” />

    The Visual tab now shows a yellow flash square as expected but when I click publish it the page just shows me a hyperlink to the url in the object. When I return to the edit page it has changed my html to;

    <embed id=”videoplayer.prt1″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”300″ height=”430″ src=”http://www.roughtraderecords.com/britishseapowerwidget/livingissoeasy.swf?myLoad=http://promo.roughtraderecords.com/britishseapower/livingissoeasy_stream.mp3″ name=”videoplayer.prt1″ bgcolor=”#ffffff” quality=”high” allowfullscreen=”true” allowscriptaccess=”sameDomain” align=”middle”>

    This does not display the player as expected but the hyperlink. Any idea why I cannot past this object as it works fine on other sites?

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

    Actualy, no worries I think I’ve sussed it! Using the gigya plug-in as below seems to work

    [gigya src="http://www.roughtraderecords.com/britishseapowerwidget/livingissoeasy.swf?myLoad=http://promo.roughtraderecords.com/britishseapower/livingissoeasy_stream.mp3" width="300" height="430" quality="high" wmode="transparent" allowFullScreen="true" ]
