   I have been searching (and searching) about how to embed a Flash movie into a PAGE as well as a POST (not sure if its even different)

   I have tried 3 different approaches so far.

   SW_Object
   Gigya
   Kelima (or something)

   nothing has worked..

   Kelima one the GUI/editor doesnt even load correctly.. Black BG cant read it.. even if you get past it.. the embed does NOT work.

   Gigya does nothing (I read dont need plug-in...couldnt find a flash plug-in anyways) - didnt work.

   same with the 3rd version....attempt.

   I even tried direct embed ode in a DIV...

   question:

   1.) is it even possibly anymore? I would think so..
   2.) Is there a current or 'supported' plug-in for this?

   here is a quick link to one I tried to embed into a PAGE (not a post)

   http://internationalsaberguild.com/?page_id=77

   seems just the text shows up..

   on the others. a FLASH 'space' is there.. I right click get flash menu.. but alas.. no flash movie displays.

   Thanks for any help or direction.. Im killing myself over here! =)

   hi (thanks for the reply)

   Im sorry. that 'is' one I tried (the above name was spelled from memory)
   Kelima is supposed to be kimili.

   upon looking back on my own post/link.. I see I did have the .swf extension.. (but .html instead on accident)

   thanks...sorry for the waste of time.

   however..

   I do still have a problem with the GUI/editor.. when it 'loads/displays' everything is black/dark grey.. (the background of the table/panel or whatever)

   makes it very hard to read with black text..and what fields are supposed to be for what.

   Ay ideas on how to fix that?

   thanks

   yeah it seems odd...

   since its part of the 'lightbox/thickbox' (whatever) they are using to display it....

   upon a bit further inspection.. it seems the 'WHITE' fill is 'gone' (or transparent?).. and its all black border is showing through.

   outside of that.. I believe it is working 'ok'..

   I had tried contacting the author before posting here.. (no reply)

   thanks

   maybe a quick pic of the bug Im getting will shed some light.. (or for another for who stumbles into this post)

   seems like the 'inner' white table isnt centered or long enough to cover the whole 'window'..

   anybody got any ideas/thoughts on why 'my' install isnt working/looking right?

   thanks
