Hi!
Am using Tiny MCE 2.0 editor and cannot for the life of me figure out how to embed flash into the site with a swf file.
I've tried HTML, the embedd tag, all videos plug-in... nothing is working!
Am i missing something? When I use the embed tag, I upload the swf file to the images folder, click the embed icon, select "flash" and write a local path - such as "images/myflash.swf"
Space will show up on the front where the image should be but there will be no image, flash, or movie.
ANY IDEAS??!?! I'm really banging my head against the wall.
~ much thanks, Emily

Use this code and adapt it with your link, width and height of swf:
<div align="center"><OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" height="640" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.yoursite.com/images/test.swf"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="menu" value="false"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><EMBED src="http://www.yoursite.com/images/test.swf" wmode="transparent" quality="high" menu="false" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="640" width="480"><param</EMBED></OBJECT></div>

Hi - Having the exact same issue. I have used the code given as the answer and if I preview the article the slideshow appears but as soon as I save it I get nothing on the article page within the site??
Using joomla 1.5 with catalyst template. The swf file is a simple slideshow.
Regards

Hi Yves,
Many thanks - this has done the trick - editor was stripping some of the code out hence the issue
Best Wishes
