I have a video that I made using Moyea Flash MX. I want to embed the vid into an HTML block so it appears a la You Tube look. I have done this before and it works but now when I embed the code in the HTML editor the block expands to fit the video but no video is visible...does this make sense to anyone out there? Here is the code...is something missing? I am arank amateur when it comes to the mysterious world on code, html etc... so be kind

Do you have multimedia filters turned on? have you tried uploading your swf file and then in the html editor typing some text (or even some blank spaces) ,making a hyperlink and linking to your uploaded swf file? That is usually an easier way to get it into a youtube like player than using code.
