Embedding Flash widgets
Andy
I'm trying to embed a flash widget into a drupal page node. My
default input is "Full HTML" and I am using FCKeditor. Here is the
embed code:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="https://
clients4.google.com/voice/embed/webCallButton" width="230"
height="85"><param name="movie" value="https://clients4.google.com/
voice/embed/webCallButton" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /
><param name="FlashVars"
value="id=8b906338bd48e2c57737db69437592da7fe32930&style=0" /></
object>
All I see on the node is this embed code, I'm guessing I have to
install some sort of flash module. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Andy

Try doing the embed on a different page without using FCKeditor.
You may be getting interference from the wysiwyg editor.

Here is another suggestion
Full HTML might be configured to convert line breaks into HTML tags
<br> or <p>.
Site Configuration > Input Format > List > Full HTML > Configure
Under Format, uncheck "Line break converter".
Also, You can try unchecking any other Format selections.
like these: "HTML corrector", "URL filter"

sending this out, and that wasn't it. I also tried your suggestion
below, which worked at first (I could see the object). Then the
object disapeared, so I messed with different input settings.
I finally figured out what was going on. I'm using chrome, and ever
since I installed extensions (dev channel) chrome has been rendering
some pages strangely (including gmail). So, I switched to firefox and
tried several IE user agents as well, it works in all of them.
The problem appears to be something experimental in chrome.
Thanks again. I should add that I'm really happy that someone started
this group.

page with the embedded widgets, after removing a few of the sketchier
extensions, the widgets now work in chrome (and gmail looks normal now
too).
