** I'm sorry to announce that I'm not continuing this project anymore. I stopped blogging for several reasons and so this plugin dies with it. If somebody wants to rebirth it: feel free! I'm really sorry! **

pb-embedFlash is a filter for WordPress to display any flash content in valid XHTML 1.0 Strict code offering the possibility to specify attributes and parameters individually. It's easy to use but the final appearance of your embedded files can be modified heavily.

With admin panel, sidebar widget, TinyMCE popup and media & playlist manager!

See the Installation tab for more information about the usage.

This plugin comes with currently four ways of displaying your flash content:

  • <object> tag
  • SWFObject (JavaScript)
  • Shadowbox (JavaScript, by Michael J. I. Jackson)
  • Popup window (JavaScript)

pb-embedFlash primarily supports, but is not limited to...

  • .swf
  • .flv, .mp3, .png, .jpg, .gif and .xml playlist via JW FLV Media Player
  • YouTube
  • Google Video
  • Revver
  • SevenLoad
  • Vimeo
  • GUBA
  • ClipFish
  • MetaCafe
  • MyVideo
  • Veoh
  • ifilm
  • MySpace Videos
  • Brightcove
  • aniBOOM
  • vSocial
  • GameVideos
  • VideoTube
  • AOL UnCut
  • grouper

Unfortunately, Blip.tv, Garage TV, Break.com, dailymotion and Yahoo! do not put the videoID into the browser URL; therefore you have grab the path to the video file from the embedding-HTML-code they offer.

If your favorite video hoster is not listed as supported by this plugin, you still can use it by copying the link to the video out of the embedding code. Please give me a note if a video hoster is missing or not fully supported, thanks.
