Embed Flash easily and standard compliant with SWFObject using only a [swf] shortcode!

In the text editor simply write something like:

[swf src=”http://www.example.com/my-flash-file.swf” width=300 height=100]

The attributes src, width and height are required

Additional attributes includes:

  • params
  • flashvars
  • version

The attributes params, and flashvars should be written like “flashvar1=value&flashvar2=value” to function properly. If you want to specify a Flash version use version attribute. Default is 9.

To provide alternative content for people without Flash, simply put some text between the [swf] brackets, e.g.

[swf src=”http://www.example.com/my-flash-file.swf” width=300 height=100]You must have Flash to view this file[/swf]
