   Does anybody know if it is possible or how to put a swf flash button into the sidebar? I have WordPress 2.1. I would like to use a flash button I created to link to another page from the home page.

   Open your theme's sidebar.php.
   Play with the code:
   <div>swf code</div>

   Or similar. Back up...back up...

   If you are using Internet Explorer, SWF videos may not appear. If you use Dreamweaver 8, you need to insert an additional Java Script code (AC_RunActiveContent.js). I don't know for the latest version of Dreamweaver.

   The following is an embed Flash tag that I used to use.

   <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="320" height="50">
   <param name="movie" value="XXX.swf" />
   <param name="quality" value="high" />
   <embed src="mac/XXX.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="320" height="50"></embed>
   </object>

   XXX.swf is a file name. This tag should work for non-IE browsers.

   Have you tried Kimili Flash Embed for WordPress?
   I was able to use it for my site. The only thing I want to do now is make my header a swf movie with Kimili, but I do not know how to do it. It must be easy, but so far I can't figure it out. If anyone knows how to on the regulus theme let me know. Thanks.
