    Okay, I've been trying various plugins that will let embedded content work but I can't find one that works well.

    Any suggestions? What are you using?

    Thanks.

    Oh, and I'm mainly referring to adding flash videos and such.

    Like youtube videos?
    I also had problems with that, but if you turn off the rich text editor (from your profile options) and then paste the code, It will work.
    Also I've seen several blogs using Anarchy Media Player plugin and it seems to work fine.

    I did turn off the editor - still didn't work. And for some reason that plugin is giving me some problems.

    I like to use Viper's Quick Tags. The plugin adds buttons onto the rich text editor for YouTube, Google Video, and others if you want them. When you click them it asks for the url to your video. After you enter it you'll see something like

    [youtube]URL[/youtube] or [gvideo]URL[/gvideo]

    I used to have a lot of trouble with those videos too. For some reason, the rich text editor in WP doesn't like the code that comes when you embed a lot of videos so it tries to correct the html. this usually ends up with the video being posted halfway down the page and the rest of the site is messed up because of it.

    If all else fails, I notice that if you paste the code in as it should be, publish it right away, and don't touch it, it will show just fine. As long as you don't switch out of the "code" tab when you're writing the post, the rich text editor won't even have the chance to try and fix the html before it's published.
