Thanks, it was a file permission issue!
I had hardened the root and WP directories after a malware incident.

Why is the visual editor broken within WordPress itself?
I can’t use Tags or get the Visual view.
I’m not posting a new topic either ??

I followed this example and finally got Flash working in my sidebar at https://guntherportfolio.com

However, it works with Firefox but not IE7 or Chrome. I tried a number of WordPress plugins but none worked. Here is my code:

<object classid=”clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000″ id=”someID” width=”125″ height=”125″>
<param name=”movie” value=”https://guntherportfolio.com/wp-content/themes/gunther/img/EUbanner_small_linked.swf “>
<param name=”bgcolor” value=”#000000″>
<param name=”allowScriptAccess” value=”always”>
<param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”false”>
<param name=”name” value=”someValue”>
<param name=”wmode” value=”transparent”>
<!–[if !IE]>–>

<object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” data=”https://guntherportfolio.com/wp-content/themes/gunther/img/EuPDbanner_small.swf ” width=”125″ height=”125″>
<!–<![endif]–>
<img src=”preview.gif” alt=”Preview”>
<p>Download the flash player</p>
<!–[if !IE]>–>
<param name=”bgcolor” value=”#000000″>
<param name=”allowScriptAccess” value=”always”>
<param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”false”>
<param name=”name” value=”someValue”>
</object>
<!–<![endif]–>
</object>

Thanks, that fixed it. I was using the page order #. The About page had page id=1 which explains the behavior.

I forget about those page IDs since I don’t use the default permalink setting.
