  Hello,
  I’ve got an swf file, and I want to embed it onto a WordPress post, but I don’t know how to.

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

  I don’t think you can since it can contain malware.

  Hmmm, I thought you could, because if you look at this, it seems like an swf: http://binsupport.wordpress.com/2013/07/07/new-header-competition/

  @hf556 – the file on the page you linked to is not a SWF/Flash file; it is a GIF animation file.

  As gamenology1 said, SWF files cannot be used here due to code restrictions. Have a look here for the file types allowed on WordPress.com http://en.support.wordpress.com/accepted-filetypes/

  Is there any way I can convert the swf into html?
