Embedding Flash (swf) files in Blogger

This is the code I use to embed the swf files in Blogger. I enter this through the edit HTML tab in the Create Post window. Replace the brackets, {} with the when you use it. I had to switch to brackets in order to show the actual code here.

{object classid=”clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000″ codebase=”http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash
/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0″ width=”420″ height=”420″}
{param name=”movie” value=”http://www.creativetony.com/swf/whackacat.swf”}
{param name=quality value=high}
{embed src=”http://www.creativetony.com/swf/whackacat.swf” quality=high pluginspage=”http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”420″ height=”420″}{/embed}{/object}”

I had to do a bit of tweaking on the original code I used to get it to play in both IE and Mozilla Firefox. If you are using Flash 8 there is an anti-aliasing process for the text not used in previous versions so a download of the Flash 8 player is required.

NOTE: THE MISSING END OBJECT TAG IS NOW INCLUDED. THANKS TO THOSE WHO POINTED IT OUT
