Hi there. So, I'm trying to embed a video of mine for my userpage, but when I put it there, the embed code won't work. Look, I typed:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="347" height="300" align="middle"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><param name="movie" value="http://www.deviantart.com/film/286233180/"><param name="menu" value="true"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.deviantart.com/film/286233180/" quality="high" wmode="transparent" bgcolor="#000000" width="347" height="300" align="middle" allowFullScreen="true" menu="true" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></object>

but it doesn't work. Why won't it? I mean, <youtube></youtube> code works here, but that's about it for embedding videos. If anybody else has any idea how to do it right here, please tell me (on this forum or my talkpage). ~Pleb the magic! 23:21, 02/20/2012

Ha ha. Seriously, I need help here. ~Pleb the magic! 23:25, 03/06/2012

Have you considered converting it to text? Text, we do. Not well, though. As for programming, not so much. We aren't the smart kind of nerds. We know Startrek, mostly. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 11:43, March 8, 2012 (UTC)
