   Hi,

   Was wondering if there's a plugin to embed Youtube videos? I've had a search but couldn't find one for the latest version...unless I'm just bein' blind.

   Regards,
   Jason

   I embedded a video, no plug in needed.
   This was the code I used;

   <object height="355" width="425"></object>

   <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cmAm8GNJ_IA&rel=1"></param>
   <param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cmAm8GNJ_IA&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"></embed>

   Of course you need to change the code for the video you want.

   Isn't that just the Youtube embed code? It doesn't seem to work with just pasting that into the editor...

   Better yet, forget the crap YouTube code and the plugin. Just do this:

   <object class='left' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' data='http://www.youtube.com/v/cmAm8GNJ_IA' width='298' height='250'>
   	<param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/cmAm8GNJ_IA' />
   	<param name='wmode' value='transparent' />
   </object>

   This should work pasting into the editor fine.

   Tried that and it just embed the video.

   Isn't there a plugin that easily allows me to do this?

   Doesn't matter -- I worked it out. You just press the html tab on the editor then input the embed code.

   Regards,
