Hope this works for you. At least for me it did the trick.

@justpi:

Now I see the problem. As you can see from melkro's posting above, Tripline embeds the whole flash part into it's own object, which is actually not needed. In the surrounding "<object>" code they are using the definition "<param name="flashVars" ...". Within the actual "<embed>" code section they are using "flashVars=...". I mixed that up a little bit.

You're welcome.
As for "the instructions on http://wpbtips.wordpress.com", I happen to be the one who invented this workaround, wpbtips is my own blog, and the instructions given there are correct.

@melkroe:
I gave precise instructions above, twice.

I don't see why you're trying to change and rearrange things when you're not familiar with this kind of thing. You just copy the part I showed and change its beginning and its end the way I showed - no other changes. You just copy this:

then turn the initial
<embed
to
[gigya

That's all it takes. No other changes.

thanks for your reply. I converted the statement to:

[gigya src="http://www.tripline.net/api/tripviewer.swf tripId=0447255406521006A47DE31F84F378A0&tripDataUrl=http://www.tripline.net/api/v1/kml/0447255406521006A47DE31F84F378A0?version=.2&mapsApiKey=ABQIAAAAA9rk3PBVYmwBFaK8U6L2BBSGk6n9_7P4Hc_MSCrbXGvqZu06axRNzkfL-lfkb7tx0GF_c1LVYHgGQg&onSite=0" width="512" height="288" allowFullScreen="true" AllowScriptAccess="always" bgcolor="#111111"]

The tripline error message about missing parameters is gone now but unfortunately the embedded flash window stays black and doesn't show anything.

Is the conversion above correct? Any further ideas regarding this issue?

I am working on the same issue. I found the following on the Tripline Website. They say, that embedding the tripline map in a wordpress.com Blog doesn't work and you have to use the thumbnail version instead, which is very inconvenient.

I tried to convert the embed code according to http://wpbtips.wordpress.com. The code looks like as follows:

[gigya src="http://www.tripline.net/api/tripviewer.swf" width="512" height="288" allowFullScreen="true" AllowScriptAccess="always" bgcolor="#111111" tripId="0447255406521006A47DE31F84F378A0" tripDataUrl="http://www.tripline.net/api/v1/kml/0447255406521006A47DE31F84F378A0 version=".2" mapsApiKey="ABQIAAAAA9rk3PBVYmwBFaK8U6L2BBSGk6n9_7P4Hc_MSCrbXGvqZu06axRNzkfL-lfkb7tx0GF_c1LVYHgGQg" onSite="0"]

The original code provided by tripline looks as follows:

<object width="512" height="288">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.tripline.net/api/tripviewer.swf" />
<param name="AllowScriptAccess" VALUE="always" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#111111" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="flashVars" value="tripId=0447255406521006A47DE31F84F378A0&tripDataUrl=http://www.tripline.net/api/v1/kml/0447255406521006A47DE31F84F378A0?version=.2&mapsApiKey=ABQIAAAAA9rk3PBVYmwBFaK8U6L2BBSGk6n9_7P4Hc_MSCrbXGvqZu06axRNzkfL-lfkb7tx0GF_c1LVYHgGQg&onSite=0" />
<embed src="http://www.tripline.net/api/tripviewer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="512" height="288" allowFullScreen="true" AllowScriptAccess="always" bgcolor="#111111" flashVars="tripId=0447255406521006A47DE31F84F378A0&tripDataUrl=http://www.tripline.net/api/v1/kml/0447255406521006A47DE31F84F378A0?version=.2&mapsApiKey=ABQIAAAAA9rk3PBVYmwBFaK8U6L2BBSGk6n9_7P4Hc_MSCrbXGvqZu06axRNzkfL-lfkb7tx0GF_c1LVYHgGQg&onSite=0">
</embed>
</object>

However, this loads the flash object but this one itself complains about "Missing configuration parameters". So something might have gone wrong during the conversion process to the "gigya" markup.

I saw that link which basically is about inserting a static map, I will use it as a fallback solution but this would make a lot of redundant editing...

So this means there is no geolocation of blogposts possible in wordpress.com I guess.
