How do I insert a Flash video into a Blogger post?
I'm using Blogger and have Flash videos I'd like to display within the blog entries. The flash files are stored online as .SWF files.
Can someone provide the HTML code to properly display the video within the blog?
I've tried this but it just shows a blank white square:
<object data="http://www.whatever.com/testvideo.swf" height="320" width="240"
type="application/x-shockw
</object>
Thanks!
PS - I also posted in the Web Dev section but that may've been the wrong area -- https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21929049/How-do-I-insert-Flash-into-a-Blogger-post.html

And at the end have </embed>
what browser are you using because some new browsers such as the new Internet Explorer Beta 7 does not support flash embedding that way... you have to use a new java script solution....

mgh_mgharish,
I entered your code into the blog. When I post or preview it, it just displays the same code as text -- no video.
HolmesSPH,
I've tried IE 6, FireFox, Maxthon, etc. Multiple PCs also. My browser's not the problem because I can see other people's Flash videos fine. I just cant post my own!

Can you provide the url of the blog ? Are you sure that the source path is correct ?

Actually, it is working now. I was entering the code under the COMPOSE tab from Blogger instead of going through the EDIT HTML tab. Thanks!
One more question:
Although my Blogger is set to email all new blogs to me, SWF files dont show up in the email (probably because of the security levels of my Outlook). How could I embed an image (JPG) file in the blog post and have a hyperlink associated with that picture that would take users to the SWF file (since they would see the blog post as an email)?
