# Flash slideshow not working

 * I downloaded a Flash slideshow from Activeden.net to use on a new site I’m making.
   It works fine on a normal site, but when I try to put it into a static page on
   my WordPress site ([http://www.atozenglish.jp/wordpress/](http://www.atozenglish.jp/wordpress/)),
   nothing shows up at all.
 * I put all the flash files in /wordpress/wp-content/themes/default, with the same
   structure as I received them in. This is the code I cut and pasted from the HTML
   file I was supplied with:
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
       <div align="center">
       	<div id="flashcontent">
       		<script type="text/javascript">
       			var so = new SWFObject("banner.swf", "mymovie", "590", "300", "8");
       			so.addParam("menu", "false");
       			so.addVariable("dataPath", "banner_asset/data.xml");
       			so.write("flashcontent");
       		</script>
   
       	</div>
       </div>
   
       <div><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4" title="5promises" src="http://www.atozenglish.jp/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/5promises.gif" alt="5promises" width="581" height="613" /></div>
       ```
   
 * I’m quite new to WordPress and Flash, and would really appreciate any help!

 * The problem was caused by WordPress adding <p> tags into the code. I solved this
   problem using the Disable wpautop Plugin.
