   Hi all!

   Please bear with me, as I am new to Flash and not much of a codemaster ;-)

   I have created a short (6 seconds) SWF movie with Adobe Flash Professional CS5 that I would like to show in the header of my site (www.martijnboersma.com).

   I have uploaded the SWF file to WordPress and installed the Kimili Plugin. After adjusting the plugin settings, I have added the following code to header.php:

   [kml_flashembed movie="wp-content/uploads/2012/01/MFTS.swf" width="600" height="100"]
   
   <!-- Begin Alternate Content -->
   
   <p>
   <a href="http://adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">
   <img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" />
   </a>
   </p>
   
   <!-- End Alternate Content -->
   
   [/kml_flashembed]

   The coding results in a white space appearing in the header, with no playing SWF file.

   Although the SWF file works fine when I double click it on my desktop, it doesn't play when I go to the absolute URL: http://www.martijnboersma.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/MFTS.swf.

   Is the coding incorrect, or could it be that there is something wrong with the SWF file itself? Or perhaps both :-/

   Any help is much appreciated! Thanks in advance :-)

   It turned out that I did not embed the .flv in the .swf whilst exporting in Flash.
   After that, it worked just fine.
