   I'm having a problem here, and hoping for some input. I started using a new video hosting service: MotionBox (www.motionbox.com). The embedding code they give me looks like this:

   <embed src="http://www.motionbox.com/external/hd_player/type=hd,video_uid=ee9ed7b5171ee364" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" width="416" height="234" allowFullscreen="true"></embed>

   When I go to my blog, switch to the HTML view, and paste in that code, when I switch back to the regular view then back to HTML, this is what it has done to the code:

   <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="416" height="234" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.motionbox.com/external/hd_player/type=hd,video_uid=ee9ed7b5171ee364" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="416" height="234" src="http://www.motionbox.com/external/hd_player/type=hd,video_uid=ee9ed7b5171ee364"></embed></object>

   The video plays, but TinyMCE is removing the allowFullScreen tag, so the video can't be made full screen. Why is TinyMCE doing this? Is there a better way for me to insert the code? Or does MotionBox just need to come up with compliant code that TinyMCE won't try to change?

   For the record, MotionBox updated their embed code and now the problem doesn't happen.
