   Hello and thank you for your time and assistance,

   I have a flash video that I need to put onto the homepage of my WordPress site. I need the video to autoplay when the page is loaded.

   My homepage is rendered with index.php. I attempted to insert the flash code provided by Adobe into this page but that did not work. There is just a big empty white space where the video should be.

   I am unsure if I need a plugin or if I can use certain code to accomplish this. There seem to be a variety of posts about this but nothing really clear that I've found so far.

   First create new function.

   function flashembed($file, $width, $height) {
   $swfdir = "http://test.perfectwebtutorials.com//wp-content/themes/default/swf/"; // change to your url, where your swf files are
   echo "<OBJECT classid=\"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\"
   codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0\" WIDTH=$width HEIGHT=$height>
   <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE=\"$swfdir/$file.swf\">
   <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
   <PARAM NAME=menu VALUE=false>
   <EMBED src=\"$swfdir/$file.swf\" quality=high WIDTH=$width HEIGHT=$height TYPE=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" PLUGINSPAGE=\"http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash\" menu=\"false\"></EMBED>
   </OBJECT>";
   }

   Then call it anywhere where u cant to insert swf file.

   <?php flashembed(filename, 300, 150); ?>

   U are done.

   Thank you for your help with the flash code! My video is now loading and playing, but it displays with extra white space on the top and bottom of the video in Safari and the video size is much smaller in Firefox. I'm not sure if I need additional parameters in the flash code itself to account for these display issues. I have worked with the CSS for the past hour and have not found a way to fix these issues. Do you have any idea what might be wrong?

   Thanks again!
