Tutorial - embedding swf with external assets (xml, external images, etc.) in a wordpress blog

Hello!

I know most of you (myself included) have been having problems embedding a complicated swf with external assets (like 3D wall) in your wordpress blog so I am going to clear it up.

First of all, grab this great plug in from here http://kimili.com/plugins/kml_flashembed/wp and activate it in your wordpress install.
Second, upload all the content of the deploy folder (from your package) in a folder named wall in the root of your wordpress install.
Finally, just copy/paste this code in the page where you want the component to appear -

[kml_flashembed publishmethod="static" fversion="9.0.0" movie="wall/preview.swf" 
 width="800" height="800" targetclass="flashmovie" base="wall/"]
<p><a href="http://adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">
<img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" /></a></p>
[/kml_flashembed]

Remember to change preview.swf to your swf name and whatever parameters you need ( width, height ) That is all.
The folder wall can be named as you wish, but remember to change all references to it in the code (bolded).

Thanks for your feedback!

Radu, thank you!!

Thanks bra

Thank you for your post. I wish I knew more about wordpress, but I am learning right now. I tried to find the wall folder as you wrote, but I cannot find it anywhere. Can you present more specific location?

I suppose you need to create the folder for your specific application that you are loading. In the above tutorial, the author just called it “wall”. You can name it whatever you like and follow the rest of the instructions.

Good luck!
