Getting Flash (swf) into Wordpress
Just when I think I got all my embedding issues figured out with Viper, I find out it doesn’t work with basic Flash files (swf). So I was one again on the plugin hunt.
In no time at all I ended up at Kimili’s site and found the Kimili Flash Embed for Wordpress plugin. Upload one file, activate it and then use special code to embed a Flash file into a Wordpress blog post. It’s that simple. Still, I’ll never remember the special code, but that’s easy enough to find again as it’s listed on the Plugins page.
There is also a Textpattern version for those of you running that software.

You should test out the Extreme Video Plugin. There couldn’t be anything easier to use. It comes with built in support for YouTube, Google Video, FLV, QuickTime, AVI, MPEG, WMV,
You can find the plugin at http://www.rossgerbasi.com/2006/11/18/extreme-video-plugin-30-beta/
I think I’ve checked that out, but I used Viper instead. To bad neither work with Flash (swf). Or does it? The page doesn’t really say.
I guess I haven’t tried .swf. The Flash files I’ve used are .flv (Flash video)
Thanks for your tip… I have used this plugin on my blog which runs WPMU… Here are some other very useful plugins http://emad.blogstogo.com/2007/07/18/updates-to-my-blog/
