    I’m trying to use the flash embed here: http://sofcc.info/sofcc

    The player is displaying shrunken down about 100 px from where it should be. I’ve tried every bit of coding I know – the xml file is correct, the dimensions are typed in correctly – it appears to be forcing padding of 100px on the right and bottom.

    Any ideas at all?

    If we are talking about the player in the left sidebar, I’d start by taking the paragraph tags out <p></p> from around your object. If you need to position it, you’ll want to give it a DIV you can position relative within the box.

    I’ve got it in the excerpt field and wordpress seems to be automatically wrapping it in < p> tags…I don’t have it aligned any particular way.

    Here’s the actual excerpt code:

    Baptism in Mexico...
    
    <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="275" height="241" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://sofcc.info/sofcc/baptism2.swf" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="275" height="241" src="http://sofcc.info/sofcc/baptism2.swf"></embed></object>

    You lost me on the Excerpt field. I know what an excerpt is in the WordPress world, but I don’t see how it applies here. If you look at this code in your theme index, you should be able to remove the paragraph tags

    This particular theme won’t display the player in the front page of the site unless I use the excerpt field. For some reason it won’t let me embed directly.

    If I use the excerpt field, I can make the player appear – but it wraps it in those < p> tags no matter what I do. The code I posted is exactly what I pasted in my post. Once it’s published, WordPress adds in the tags.

    I just can’t figure it out.

    Have you taken a look at this plugin? I haven’t used it myself, but I have seem it in several installations since I started on this forum. I HAVE used the SWFObject it is built on a number of times, it’s quite stable
