    Hello, thank you for your time!

    I have loaded a Flash video to my wordpress index.php page. The video plays when you load the page; however, in Safari, there seems to be excessive white space around the video that is not added by the CSS. In Firefox, the video size is very small. The video should take up a 900×500 pixel block. Is there something special about using Flash with WordPress in Firefox?

    Here is the site. Please let me know if you need any additional information.

    You flash embed is full of errors: [Invalid]Markup Validation of trendefemme.com – W3C Markup Validator. There are other code errors that may contribute to the whitespace problem. (Scroll down in the validation report to see line numbers and source code.) I’d embed the flash in a page that uses a template for home rather than directly in index.php, and use a plugin like Kimili Flash Embed « WordPress Plugins If you want to work with flash embed without a plugin, look at swfobject – Project Hosting on Google Code

    Hello, thank you for your assistance. I install the Kimili flash plugin as directed. I also created a homepage template so that I could use Kimili with the homepage. The flash now appears the same as before in Safari. In Firefox, it doesn’t appear at all. However, there are not any validation issues with the flash portion of the homepage now. Do you know why the flash isn’t displaying in Firefox at all? Is there any way to reduce the whitespace added on the top and bottom of the flash? Here’s the site. Thanks again!

    Check the CSS margins and padding on the div that holds the flash for the safari problems. For Firefox, try some different embed parameters; no reason for the flash to not show in Firefox. Check the path; the flash loads when I go directly to the URL but not in the content div.

    Thanks. I had to add CSS for the object class that is added by the plugin when the flash is loaded. Apparently the default values were causing the extra whitespace (i.e. height had to be specified). It is now working well in Safari.

    Regarding the Firefox embed parameters, I didn’t see anything directly relative in the plugin options. Did you mean to add a custom tag (fvars in the plugin)? Or is there a way to make the plugin use certain embed tags for Firefox only?
