How to Post Flash Files in WordPress

Editing HTML
1. Log in to your WordPress blog. Select 'Add New' from the 'Media' menu on the left. Click 'Select Files,' browse to the Flash file on your computer's hard drive, select it and click 'Open.' Enter title, caption and description as desired.
2. Highlight the file's Uniform Resource Locator (URL) in the 'File URL' field from the first forward slash after the domain name to the end. Right-click and select 'Copy.' Click 'Save all changes.'

3. Open an existing page or post or create a new one from the 'Posts' or 'Pages' menus. Click the 'HTML' tab above the main content window.
4. Enter the following code where you want the Flash movie displayed, adjusting properties as needed. Paste the URL you copied earlier into 'embed src=.' Replace the width and height values as well as the value for the movie parameter. You can change the other parameter values for alignment and background, i.e., 'bgcolor,' to suit your needs.








Using Kimili Flash Embed Plugin
5. Log in to your WordPress blog. Select 'Add New' from the 'Plugins' menu. Enter 'kimili' into the search box and click 'Search Plugins.' Select 'Install Now' under the 'Kimili Flash Embed' heading. Click 'Yes' if prompted and then 'Activate Plugin.'
6. Upload your Flash file from your computer and copy its URL as previously described. If you wish to use a Flash file that you have already uploaded to your blog's Media Gallery, select 'Library' from the 'Media' menu on the left. Click the heading of the Flash file. Highlight the file's Uniform Resource Locator (URL) in the 'File URL' field from the first forward slash after the domain name to the end. Right-click and select 'Copy.' Open the page or post in which you wish to embed the file.
7. Select the 'Visual' tab of the editor, if necessary. Click the button on the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) toolbar that has the red Flash player logo on it.
8. Configure the attributes of the generated tag within the dialog box. The only required attribute that you must change is the 'movie' tag. This is the path and file name of your Flash file. Paste the URL you copied earlier here. The dialog box has red asterisks by each required field. You will probably want to change the dimensions of your movie but the other items can remain at their default values. The dialog box has a 'What is this?' link by each item if you would like to know more.
Using SwfObj Plugin
9. Login to WordPress as you would normally. Select 'Add New' from the 'Plugins' menu. Enter 'swfobj' into the search box and click 'Select Plugins.' Select 'Install Now' under the 'SwfObj Plugin: for embedding Flash objects' heading. Click 'OK' if prompted and then 'Activate Plugin.'
10. Open the page or post in which you wish to embed the Flash file. Select the video icon, which is the second one to the right of 'Upload/Insert' above the content editor. Click 'Select Files' to upload a new Flash file to your WordPress blog or select the 'Media Library' to use an existing file. Click 'Show' to the right of your file if you selected 'Media Library.'
11. Enter a title for your file and optionally alternate HTML and the width and height of your file. You may also click 'Show Advanced Options' and enter attributes there but they are not required. The only required attribute is the title. Click 'Insert into Post.' Click 'Save Draft' and then 'Preview.' Return to your blog and make any needed adjustments. If your movie plays as expected, click 'Publish.'
