Hello greendesert.
The reason why it gets stripped off is because the embed tag is not allowed anymore and wordpress knows this so it gets rid of it. Try something like this:
‘<object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash”
data=”flashmovie-name.swf”
width=”the width” height=”the hight”>
<param name=”movie”
value=”flashmovie-name.swf” />
<img src=”flashmovie-name.swf”
width=”again whatever width” height=”again whatever height” />
</object>’
If it doesn’t work, let me know either here or leave a comment in my blog at:

you can see my flash hearder.swf working properly there, and passed validation as well.
