Description
This plugin allows easy embedding of swf files and better media management for swf files, allowing swf files to have a height, width, and their own minimum flash version. This plugin adds a swfobject shortcode that can be inserted via the “Add media” button while editing a post. SWF files are now also automatically embedded on their respective attachment pages. The theme is released under GPL

It should work any place swfObject will work.
I’ve just tested in Chrome/Firefox on Windows and Mac, and it works fine.
Hello, on my word press page, I wonder what code to use when i have a flash animation inside a post when a user does not have flash installed? or when they are using iphone, ipad, droid? to be re-directed to a non-flash page (.htm) to open in the same window?
if there is such code, does it have to be inserted inside the page with the flash animation?
will this plug in do the job for it?
sincerely
jim
The Alt-Content is defined in the swf-objects setting on the Settings->Media page.
The setting can be any string, including an link (a tag) to go to another page.
The alt-content is a global setting and does not need to be set for each flash animation.
Hope that helps.

Hi Robert,
I’m using your plug-in in my blog but when I insert a SWF file, the plug-in inserts automatically two ‘br’ tags in the first lines of my entry.
You can see it in this entry: http://sinotecasasesporquenoquieres.com/blog/2011/07/fotografia-esferica-roberto-maite-ana-maria-goyo/
Can you help me?
Thanks!!
I found one break tag and removed it, in the newest version.
Try version 1.5 and see if that fixes your problem.
Now works perfect.
Thank you very much!!
Hi there. I’m still a bit of a noob when it comes to flash, but i managed to make a dorky little movie as a placeholder for a site i’m working on. the movie was built at 800×800 px, but when I insert it into my theme it comes out 300×300 no matter what settings I put in the plugin. I used firebug to try and isolate where this is coming from, and while I can see the code in firebug I can’t find it in my css or php for the life of me… The following is the code snippet that firebug identified, and when i use firebug to change the dimensions it works perfect, but i can’t find where to put the code to make the change permanent. Can you help? FYI I tried some other movies also (that I didn’t create) and they behave the same way. Thanks so much for your time.

Sabrina, on the media page there is an option titled: Scale Flash content (while preserving aspect ratio). Make sure it is unchecked, and make sure you are specifying a width and height on the media/options page or in the shortcode.
Hope that helps.
*facepalm* Works perfectly. I had looked all over to see if there was a main settings page and had not found it, until now of course. Thank you for the super fast response! I will recommend this plugin to everyone I know!!
Glad you got it working. The setting is an attempt to keep the flash movie narrower than the post. 800×800 is a pretty wide flash movie, so you probably want to keep that in mind.
Hi, I’m one of swfobjectreloaded fans. Glad to found this plugin because its so easy and simple and integrated with the media no need other menu. But I have problem with the fullscreen mode. I already follow your instruction on swfobject setting > additional params > I fill it with this allowFullScreen:”true”, menu:”false” but the settings seem not working. For your additional info I have test with embedding my swf file on html page with additional params and and its working. do you have any solution? can you help? Thanks so much for your time.
CMIIW and sorry for my bad in english writing
I’m sorry but for the life of me, I can’t find this “media page” you spoke of “media page there is an option titled: Scale Flash content (while preserving aspect ratio)”. Can you tell me where in wordpress 3 this page can be found?
It is in the dashboard under ‘Settings’.
Hi,
I replaced this plugin to the other old one but still the swf object is not displayed in IE. It does on Firefox.
In IE, it says: Sorry, either Adobe flash is not installed or you do not have it enabled.
Please help.
Thanks
Never mind,
I was confused, there was no flash players installed.
Sorry,
Thanks anyway
Hi Robert,
This is a great plugin thanks,
I have zero flash coding but I can follow simple instructions. I would like to be able to ad STOP START and PLAY buttons I have this code so far [swfobject]282[/swfobject] which works OK and I am experimenting with various sizes but have no idea on the buttons mentioned. If you could show the code I can paste it in.
Regards
Allan
The plugin can only embed the flash content. You will need the Flash IDE or Flex to actually author the Flash content.
It is outside the scope of the plugin.
In the Actionscript docs look at the stop(), play(), gotoAndStop(), gotoAndPlay() methods.
Also look at adding a button to the stage an giving it an event-listener.
Hi Robert
Thanks I’ll look into what you suggest. I would like to know how to code but with so much else to have to do it get a low priority stamp. Till the next time when I need it
Regards
Allan
