  Why do some embed codes display only the code and not the video they are coded to show? For example:
  <embed style=”display:block” src=”http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:cms:video:thedailyshow.com:431496″ width=”288″ height=”247″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” wmode=”window” allowFullscreen=”true” flashvars=”autoPlay=false” allowscriptaccess=”always” allownetworking=”all” bgcolor=”#000000″>

  The above only shows up as code.

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

  Hi there – It depends on whether the code contains code that’s not permitted here at WordPress.com:
  Code

  That code contains flash, which won’t work. The easiest thing would be to find the same video on one of the services we do support an embed code for:

  Hulu typically has most of the Daily Show clips.
