Embed Flash with Kimili Flash Embed?

Hi Kimili,

No errors unfortunately, on screen or in ~/error_log

Theme is painted-desert-1 which just has an index.php, no sidebar.php. It’s WordPress 2.03 installed by bluehost fantastico.

I have tried Martin Laine’s audio player plugin which uses similar [ ] syntax, and that works ok. I have also disabled all plugins except KFE and it still has the same problem…. parses the request but no output at all.

Maybe for some reason there are errors and I aren’t seeing them. Is this javascript file “flashobject.js” ? If so where should it be?

still stuck on this. Anyone any ideas?

^ Ahem

Michael got this working for me. I had to:

– put the kml_embed php file directly in the plugins folders and not in the default unzipped folder
– put line breaks before and after the KFE tag

thanks

I’m having the same issue. Using SlideShowPro, I’ve tried every proposed solution on this page.

I’m trying to embed my Flash movie into a Page, not a post, but in your FAQ, Kimila, you say that version 1.1 now supports embedding in Pages (and I’m using version 1.1, WP 2.0.4)

Kimila, you said:

Alistair – Are you getting any javascript errors? The plugin creates a link to an external javascript file, and perhaps the pathing to that file is incorrect in your case. If so, you would see errors along the lines of “FlashObject not defined”.

Yet on your site you say that the Javascript is now embedded into the PHP document, so that can’t be the reason, can it?

I am getting the “FlashObject not defined” JavaScript error, so maybe it’s not embedded or for some reason WP isn’t picking up on it?

Could it have anything to do with the K2 theme I’m using?

Here’s my tag:

[kml_flashembed movie=”https://www.chrishungate.com/wordpress/flash/slideshow/slideshow.swf” height=”428″ width=”375″ /]

and the URL works on its own so I know that everything’s working with the Flash file. The darn thing just won’t show up on my Page.

Please help if you can…anyone?

For what it’s worth, I was having the same sorts of problems listed here, either nothing showing up on the page or the tag itself appearing in the HTML source instead of being processed. It turned out that I had somehow downloaded a quite old version (0.something) even though it was just yesterday that I found it. So it pays to check your version. (I found the old version worked when I used embedflash rather than kml_embedflash for the tag name.)

I am using the latest version of the Kimili Flash Plugin on WordPress 2.0.4

Put your flash .swf file into the root of your site, and use this as your code:

[kml_flashembed movie=”/intro.swf” height=”390″ width=”500″ /]

Make sure you have the “/” before the flash file name, even though it is just in your site root.

I found my error – thanks to a guy on the runPHP forum….. try this, if you are using a non-default wordpress theme:

1. Change back to the default theme. If it works, you know the theme is part of the issue (it was for me).
2. Check to make sure your theme header.php file includes this line:
<?php wp_head(); ?>
3. If that doesn’t fix it, compare the php files for the default theme versus your custom themes.

I have gzip compression turned off, but my flash is only showing up about 50% of the time with this plugin.

The other 50% of the time, I just get the “KLM-flash embed” tag showing up in the page instead.

I’m using the latest version of wordpress along with KLM 1.1.

When the flash shows up, it’s working fine.

Any thoughts?
