    Hi have been using SwfObj plugin to run .swf file embedded into my home page on a site I’m building. It worked ok on WP 2.9.2 and even in WP3 beta 2 but now I’ve upgraded to WP3 RC2 and I get “The Flash plugin is required to view this object.” Help please.

    I emailed Krun offline and found out the problem has been resolved. Here’s an excerpt from her email with the solution in case anyone has the same problem.

    Problem Solved! I got desperate and downgraded the W.P. to 2.9.2 which I knew it worked in, then discovered it didn’t, which was very unsettling so I contacted my hosting company and they had a look and found a file permission error in the web folder! They amended the file permissions for me and the plugin now works, and in WP3 too. Might be worth mentioning to people to ensure their file permissions are set to the correct settings? It hadn’t occurred to me to check! I’ll know next time if it ever happens again!
