    Try it after turning the WYSIWYG off.
    Or use a video plugin.

    YouTube video isn't showing up on my blog either. Here's my issue. This code works fine in a standard HTML page:

    
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0','width','425','height','350','src','http://www.youtube.com/v/fqRJ9GfIJtI','pluginspage','http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','wmode','transparent','quality','high','movie','http://www.youtube.com/v/fqRJ9GfIJtI' ); //end AC code
</script>


    However, when I paste this code into the wordpress editor (I have the WYSIWYG editor turned off under profiles and options), and click "publish" it doesn't show up in the browser.

    When I view source in the browser, this is the code I see:

    
<script type="text/javascript"><br />
AC_FL_RunContent( ‘codebase’,'http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0′,’width’,'425′,’height’,'350′,’src’,'http://www.youtube.com/v/fqRJ9GfIJtI’,'pluginspage’,'http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer’,'wmode’,'transparent’,'quality’,'high’,'movie’,'http://www.youtube.com/v/fqRJ9GfIJtI’ ); //end AC code<br />
</script>


    Even with the wordpress editor set to text, the editor seems to be encoding the single quotes and other characters.

    How do I turn off encoding for these scripts?

    thanks for any help.....

    I see in my last post the encoded characters didn't show up properly. The code I see in view source looks like this:

    forgot to mention something else. The reason I have coded the YouTube Flash object inside a SCRIPT is because of the changes to IE7 in regards to how it handles embedded ("active") content and applications. More information can be found here:

    tahlyn: Try my little script plugin:
    http://ottodestruct.com/wpstuff/scriptenabler.zip

    It basically prevents WordPress's default filters from messing with stuff inside script tags.

    I use [youtube=http://youtube.com/w/?v=_dIya1aJJKA]
    like described here: http://wordpress.com/blog/2006/01/26/youtube-support/ . But it doesn't work. It just shows up as text. Any ideas?

    And solved it!

    I created a plugin that uses the bracket method to include YouTube video's:

    I just found out a solution to this problem as described in this post:

    http://www.seepyou.net/blog/2006/12/21/youtube-embedded-player/

    It seems that some parameters in the code provided by YouTube can cause a conflict...
