  Why can’t I get my Scrapblog code to work at WordPress. It works find at Moveable Type. What’s the problem with this:

  <EMBED name=”viewer” pluginspage=”http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer” src=”http://www.scrapblog.com/viewer/viewer_embed.swf?embed=1&scrapblogID=5032″ width=”450″ height=”300″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowScriptAccess=”never” bgcolor=”#FFFFFF” quality=”high” menu=”false”>

  Flash and javascript are stripped from the wp.com interfaces. This is due to security concerns with the two technologies.

  Unfortunately it’s never going to work.

  Generally speaking, any code with the word “embed” in it won’t work. We have special workarounds for things like Google vid and YouTube and Odeo and Sonific, which you can find in the FAQs.

  The reason we have tighter security controls is that we’re using a shared blogging platform, so if someone were to introduce a vulnerability like they did to Myspace recently, it would effect everyone, not just one blog.
