 * This sounds like the same problem I’m having, but I don’t have a way to convert
   my FLV into SWF to see if it will work. I can insert the FLV into a post, but
   when I publish it the post is blank.
 * I have tried three or four plugins to post FLV and none of them have worked.
 * Any suggestions? I’m in WordPress 3.0
