 * I’m trying some Flash photo galleries and having fits. I paste code into a new
   page, save it, and it gets changed!
 * Here’s the code I’m TRYING to install:
 *     ```
       <OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
        codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
        WIDTH="400" HEIGHT="370" id="photos" ALIGN="left">
        <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="http://www.troop-two.org/pics/photos.swf"> <PARAM NAME=menu VALUE=false> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF> <EMBED src="http://www.troop-two.org/photos.swf" menu=false quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF  WIDTH="400" HEIGHT="370" NAME="photos" ALIGN=""
        TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED>
       </OBJECT>
       ```
   
 * And here’s what is saved:
 *     ```
       <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000">
       <param name="_cx" value="5080"></param>

       <param name="BGColor" value="FFFFFF"></param>
       <param name="SWRemote"></param>
       <param name="MovieData"></param>
       <param name="SeamlessTabbing" value="1"></param>
       <param name="Profile" value="0"></param>
       <param name="ProfileAddress"></param>
       <param name="ProfilePort" value="0"></param>
       <param name="AllowNetworking" value="all"></param>
       <param name="AllowFullScreen" value="false"></param></object></p>
       ```

 * > _Why would it do that??_
 * It wouldn’t. WordPress doesn’t have the ability to do that. Some plugin or other
   code you’re using is doing that, it’s not WordPress.

 * The same thing has been happening to me. I have not installed any plugins or 
   themes, just using a default install. Anyone have any ideas?

 * I have an idea. You’re doing something else that you’re not telling us, somehow.
 * Seriously, WordPress cannot just make this stuff up out of whole cloth, and the
   term “AllowNetworking” (to pick one of the above items), is not in WordPress 
   anywhere. Do you own search through the source, it ain’t there.
 * Something other than WordPress is mucking with your code. Really.

 * ok I believe you something else is mucking my code. I just haven’t figured out
   what it is yet. The problem I have had is when I tried to copy and paste code
   from youtube to embed a video. I copy the code then paste, the code shows up 
   in the code window of my post. Before I have a chance to click save or publish
   the code just changes in the window. Its very wierd. The code is there correctly
   for a few seconds then just changes in front of my eyes with out me clicking 
   anything or pressing any keys.
 * You tell us wordpress is not doing this then I believe you, it must be something
   else.

 * Try using a different browser, see if it still changes for you.

 * That is the route I have been taking today. The problem showed up on my home 
   computer on firefox with lots of firefox extensions installed, I am now on another
   computer I tried opera and a clean install of firefox (with no extensions) and
   have been unable to repeat the problem.
