surely someone here has tried to embed a simple .swf banner in one of their wordpress widgets.
please someone give me an idea that will work.
I have added a swf file in a text widget in my sidebar using the >embed< code, and it works on the homepage, but as soon as you open one of the posts it leaves a white space.
I just added this in another spot, but…
It’s time to upgrade to newest .swf player.

It has a lot of cool tools that make learning it worthwhile, but
‘<param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always” />
is the best part. It allows swf files to play merrily in WP.
It comes with really nice tutorials and a tool to create your coding.

Anyway, I struggled long and hard to make flash work with my headers AND not cause errors. Using this new version was the only thing that made everything work.
