Flash Not Loading Properly

I've created a flash file which I have embedded into my wordpress theme (index.php) but only the background loads. If I load the same file on my PC or a php/html file it works fine.

wordpress link

html link

 

sorry man...but flash is not enabled on wordpress.com

 

sorry I don't understand your reply.

I'm not using wordpress.com, I have other sites built with wordpress that use flash.

 

sorry for the misunderstanding. Could you tell me what sort of code ur using? a normal embed code? it would be great if you could copy paste the code here, this way many more can contribute with what they know also which wordpress theme are you using? may be the theme could have some issues.

 

Link in my first post, here is the code. Theme I am using was built from another theme called saganoskyWP

<script src="Scripts/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="980" height="463" id="FlashID" title="Flash Gallery">
  <param name="movie" value="site_flash/flash/main.swf">
  <param name="quality" value="high">
  <param name="wmode" value="opaque">
  <param name="swfversion" value="8.0.35.0">
  <!-- This param tag prompts users with Flash Player 6.0 r65 and higher to download the latest version of Flash Player. Delete it if you don’t want users to see the prompt. -->
  <param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf">
  <!-- Next object tag is for non-IE browsers. So hide it from IE using IECC. -->
  <!--[if !IE]>-->
  <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="site_flash/flash/main.swf" width="980" height="463">
    <!--<![endif]-->
    <param name="quality" value="high">
    <param name="wmode" value="opaque">
    <param name="swfversion" value="8.0.35.0">
    <param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf">
    <!-- The browser displays the following alternative content for users with Flash Player 6.0 and older. -->
    <div>
      <h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4>
      <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="112" height="33" /></a></p>
    </div>
    <!--[if !IE]>-->
  </object>
  <!--<![endif]-->
</object>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
swfobject.registerObject("FlashID");
//-->
</script>

That would be great if I wanted to embed into posts

Thanks though I will keep it for future reference.

 

u can use the same plugin to insert flash file in ur theme

 

Ok thanks I'll try it.

Edit: Tried it exact same problem

 

This is odd, I can embed youtube vids, but for some reason the flash file (gallery) on the front page won't load

 

[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.kaijaweb.com/clients/emily/site_flash/flash/main.swf" base="http://www.kaijaweb.com/clients/emily/site_flash/flash/" height"500" width"500" /]

u tried the exact embedded code after installing the plugin?

 

Yep, I placed your code on the commercials page, as you can see just have a white space underneth the youtube vid.

 

This is your path in HTML file-

And this is one is from ur WP-

Are you sure about these? you could be pointing to the wrong folder. Try the absolute URL

 

Thats because the html file is within the site_flash folder

 

Alright.

Now you have nothing, not even the background. What changes have you made?

 

Sorry I should have mentioned I changed the flash file which has a white background. If you right click in the space you will see the flash is still there. I'll change it back in a moment

 

try this
1)place all flash content in root directory(wordpess root).
2)Then reference the swf's location in whatever theme file you want (index.php, home.php, header.php) as <?php bloginfo('url') ?>/yourmovie.swf

Try to use wp_head() and wp_footer. In your header and footer file. If you are using plugin
