SWF files in WordPress; SWF-plugin

For WordPress to play SWF files easily we suggest you download and install the WP-SWFobject plugin in WordPress. Get the plugin from this site. After download, read the read-me file before you install - just to make sure you do everything right.

After activating the plugin, type this code in your post or page (visual view!) where you want the SWF file to display:

[SWF]movie.swf, width, heigth[/SWF]

You can also link to SWF files on other servers like this:

[SWF]path/of/file/movie.swf, width, heigth[/SWF]

You may leave the width and height parameters out to let your SWF file display as it is.
