How to Embed SWF in WordPress Posts

1. Log in to the WordPress dashboard at the 'wp-admin' directory of your website. Navigate to 'Posts' and select a post to edit by clicking its name. Click the 'Add New' button instead if you want to create a new post.
2. Switch to the HTML editing mode by clicking the 'HTML' tab at the top of the editor box on the 'Edit Post' screen. Add a pair of '
' tags where you want to embed the SWF file in your post:



3. Add the 'classid' attribute, along with the class ID for the Adobe Flash player, to your '

9. Click the blue 'Update' or 'Publish' button, depending on whether your post is new. Go to 'View Post' to open the post in a new tab of your browser and see the embedded SWF file. You can switch between the HTML and Visual tabs of the post editor because the object code you inserted is valid XHTML. WordPress strips out invalid tags like iFrames.
