Embed flash video into a wordpress post trial and error

I’m still trying to trying to embed a flash video into a Wordpress post. Seems like the problem I was having embedding flash videos previously was having Xinha for WP plug-in turned on. My last post covered embedding you tube videos into wordpress

So what I did was turn it off de-activated it in the plug-ins options.

I then went to my profile and turned on the visual editor again, you have to un-check that box when using Xinha. Or it just munges up the html. Maybe this is what not letting me embed a flash movie in the first place. Hmm I wonder if I went and read the support documentation for Xinha if there is anything there about embedding flash movies. I’ll get back to you on this…

The Flash plug-in I’m using to embed the flash movie is WP-FLV.

Then it was just a matter of using the flv tag code to embed the video , or flash embed code. <flv href="http://www.yourdomain.com/movie.flv" autostart="true" / I just wonder if after I publish this post and then go back to having Xinha re-activated if this post will remain as is. I guess we’ll find out huh!!!

He had a blast being that dingy thingy but said that the middle seat was kinda scary.

Oh no we’re Hockey parents

Thank god there's a Timmies (Tim Hortons is a coffee shop - for my American friends) not too far from where we live, it makes the whole notion of getting up at an un-godly hour in the morning on the weekend, just that much more bearable. Ok rant aside, it's really quite entertaining to be honest. Comon seriously how can you not find a gaggle of 5,6 and 7 yrs olds suited up in the latest high tech body armour doing battle on the ice chasing a puck around for an hour each morning on the weekends. What usually takes place ...

And so it begins

My god what have we done !!! In our infinite wisdom and ignorance. We have started Aidan down the dark and winding path into the sub culture of the Boarders. Perhaps we should call him Aidan Boarder. Aidan successfully completed Grade 1, apparently there was a 3 hr exam. And a 500 hundred word essay. Man the demands on Grade 1ers have gotten tougher. SO he's going to Grade 2 next year. In his words "grade is harder because you have to to take away, adding to is EASY taking away is hard-right shane" I'm going to guess this is some form of high ...
