Kimli Flash Embed plugin will do the job and it also validates.

That’s cool. Thanks LenK. But I wondering if I could do it with simply adding the code to the page. To the header and link it to the files stored on my server. I would find that easier. Is there a way?

That’s exactly the way you use the plugin. Once activated you simply add this to your page,
[kml_flashembed movie="filename.swf" height="xx" width="xx" /]
As I said, this is also valid code.
Thanks LenK.
I also noticed one more thing, if I use the simplest of html codes on the page, for example,
<img src="http:..." /> this is just an image take. I placed it at the top in the header.php page.
But running the page in the browser shows that wordpress completely ignores the code.
What I really want to know is how I can make this type of code to work?
Because you see, if I can make my code work like that there would be no need for me to install any plugins which I don’t want to do in the first place. 🙂
Hi
I’ve tried using Kimli flash install to add a flash header and it’s just not working for me. I’ve installed Kimli v 1.4, and have checked that it’s activated in my plugin area. I’ve put the following code in my header.php:
[kml_flashembed movie=”header_temp.swf” height=”150″ width=”970″ /]
I’ve tried both a relative and an absolute path, and the flash file is definitely published to the server – but nothing shows up on the wordpress blog. It’s driving me crazy – anyone have any suggestions? Is there a step I might have missed?
Any help would be greatly appreciated…
Cheers

A link would be helpful to troubleshoot.
You have used the [kml] in the header where it would be parsed as html, right (not in the <head> tag)?
Try using
[kml_flashembed movie=”header_temp.swf” base=”http://www.your.path/to/swffile/” height=”150″ width=”970″ /]
