I installed the 6.x-3.0-beta5 version, and on my sites where I did not enable Flowplayer 3, the html_alt tag that I use to designate a replacement image to use when the Flash movie does not load works perfectly, but on a site where I have Flowplayer 3 enabled, my html_alt tag does not load the image. Does anyone know why this is so?

I solved the problem by changing the input format for the "HTML Alternative" in the "Embedding settings" section to PHP. Apparently, even though I do not use the html_alt tag in the HTML Alternative box, but rather in the code used to call SWF Tools in the body of a node, the filter under the standard setting will eliminate the alternate HTML code from view. This problem does not occur on my other sites where Flowplayer3 is disabled.

I also had to enable SWFObject2, as without this two --> are inserted above and below the image by default (and there is no way to stop this from happening, which needs to be fixed, as the user should be able to decide exactly what is displayed if flash doesn't load, and currently, --> is inserted above and below the chosen user text by default).
