Embedding a simple swf file in node/1
necomputerservice - June 25, 2009 - 21:03
I manage about 25 drupal web sites. 4 of them use a .swf file on the front page. It works simply by adding this code to the node content:
<center><object width="467" height="186">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.deerrunstone.org/images/frontflash.swf">
<center><embed src="http://www.deerrunstone.org/images/frontflash.swf" width="467" height="247"></center>
</embed>
</object>
</center>*/See example here: http://www.deerrunstone.org
I have a new site I'm standing up ( http://arrowhead.necomputerservice.com ) in a sandbox until I can get it working properly. If I embed this same code in the front of this new site, it does not display.
What am I missing? I did not install any flash specific modules on the first site (deerrunstone) and the .swf displayed properly. Why does this new template not display swf files.
Thanks in advance.

[updated]
I double checked your web page http://arrowhead.necomputerservice.com/
and re-read your updated post. I got confused.
I found a "swftools-wrapper" div in your web page but as u mentioned in your post, u added the swf by your own code lines.
did u add the swf by your own code line with a swftools-wrapper div?
in general, the div "swftools-wrapper" is generated by the module seftools.
sounds interesting.
any way, my answer "wrong embed setting" is still valid. Even I can't tell where u make it wrong.
good day.

center tags are deprecated and wouldn't need two of them. You should run your sites through a validator and fix errors. though that has nothing to do with your question.
I'm guessing you aren't using the FULL HTML input format?
.
I don't know much about Flash, but the problem might be that it won't let you embed a .swf file that's being called from another domain (for security reasons). I think you need to set up a "cross-domain policy file." I'm sure Google can find you people who know more about that than I do.
no. not security issue for
no. not security issue for this case.
