Adding a flash animation to WordPress

Post by MaxD »

I've created a few Flash animations and added them to a Wordpress site I have. In the past I've just uploaded and inserted them and everything has been fine. Today though inserting one into WP 2.7 has been a bit longer (it just inserts the url) and I've had to find the <object> code to make it work.
  • Anyone had any experience lately of adding flash objects into wordpress, is there a problem'
  • Is there a way to wrap the text around the object. A search suggested just adding align="left" to the end of the url, but this doesn't seem to work. In the past I've made do, but it would look neater with a wrap.
  • Also, can anyone suggest a means of limiting the number of times the Flash animation plays. Currently Gif animator only offers a choice if its a Gif animation. Maybe one for a future update?

The text wrap around the Flash only seems to work in Firefox, and not IE7........

I'm afraid I can not help, because I know very little about putting Flash inside HTML :( Probably somebody with experience on this can help here.

Thanks. I got it working OK, as I've added them before to WordPress. I just edited a previous upload and copied the code over, changing the file address. I was just wondering why it had stopped uploading correctly.
