 * I am having trouble inserting flash into my blog when i add the code `<object
   width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/
   aeXAcwriid0"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aeXAcwriid0" type="
   application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>`
    to
   my post it [breaks the page](http://rumple.biz/images/Sourdoughbroken.png) and
   when i go to have a look at the code in the post it has been shortened to this:`
   <object width="425" height="350" /> <param value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aeXAcwriid0"
   name="movie" /> which is why it seems to break the page.
 * Is there a diferent code I need to user to insert flash into a post or am I doing
   something else wrong?

 * Maybe try turning off the WYSIWYG editor, then post, and if you want to then 
   turn WYSIWYG back on again.
