  I don’t want to purchase a Videopress upgrade only to find that they don’t handle Adobe Flash .swf files. I can’t seem to find a list of supported formats; someone just wants my money. Any clues please …

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

  Flash embeds are not allowed, with the exception of some specific shortcodes. http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/
  For a Flash workaround see here > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2010/07/22/gigya-shortcode-3-widgets/

  Thanks, that was useful; particularly the gigya link. However, when I’m told that all I need to do is change the embed code to a shortcode I’m afraid I wouldn’t know where to start. The gigya advice seems to contradict the “official” line that Flash files/objects can’t be used. Is the simplest way to have a short animation on a page (not a post) to upgrade to Videopress and upload a .mov file?
  Thanks, in anticpation
