    Hey,

    I’m trying to embed .wmv files onto a wordpress page.

    I create a new page and add this into the html post:
    <object NAME=”Player” WIDTH=”320″ HEIGHT=”240″ align=”left” hspace=”10″ type=”application/x-oleobject” CLASSID=”CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6″>

    <param NAME=”URL” VALUE=”yourfile.wmv><param>
    <param NAME=”AUTOSTART” VALUE=”false”></param>
    <param name=”showControls” value=”true”></param>

    <embed WIDTH=”320″ HEIGHT=”240″ align=”left” hspace=”10″ SRC=”yourfile.wmv” TYPE=”application/x-oleobject” AUTOSTART=”false”>

    </embed>

    —-then when I go to the page the movie doesn’t play, I just get a windows media player embedded.

    And Yes I changed “yourfile.wmv” to the file that i want played.

    anyone know what to do here

    For starters: are you using the wysiwyg editor to input your code? That’s a killer 🙂
    Disable the wysiwyg.
    Search around here – there are tons of posts about this.

    I have searched a lot and it didn’t help…I’m using the html editor on the “pages” when you enter it in the same as a post.

    what is the wysiwyg editor?

    I’m just clicking new page, then clicking the html, and adding the embed code.

    – go to users
    – go to your profile
    – at the bottom of your profile you see a checkbox with next to it “Use the visual rich editor when writing”. Uncheck it.
    – go back and write your blog and add the code in it
    – once you have posted the movie, you go back to the profile and check the checkbox again

    Another option is to use this plugin:

    then clicking the html
    If you have to do that you are using the wysiwyg monster…
    Disable it as said above.
