The following processes are outlined particularly for users who wish to upload a document and add its download link to a blog post or page. If you are seeking to simply upload a document to your blog’s Media Library (no download link), you can check out Media -> Add New in your dashboard. http://support.wordpress.com/media/media-add-new/

If you want to embed the document itself, you will have to use a third party application like Scribd or Google Docs. Otherwise, the documents will appear as a download link.
See here:

.swf files cannot be uploaded directly to WP.com, but pdfs can. They show up as a regular text link; if you want them to show as an embed, you have to use Scribd to embed them.

The snow is snowing again *G* which just means my dialup was being typically wonky at that time of evening. The slide show is displaying images now, too. I haven't pressed play yet, to see what it will do on my end. But hey, as long as everyone else can see it and it works smoothly for them, I'm satisfied. Such a kind and charitable person. ;D But I decided to try it partly for selfish ends: to catch the attention of viewers and tempt them to go farther and visit my Webshots...

The video plays for me without "freezing" and I'm using Firefox 8.

It's also causing the purty animated snow to freeze up (no pun intended).

Darn. It's tiny and the images still aren't playing as they should. Not sure how it looks to anyone with a fast connection?

OBoy! - thanks a ton! Now we'll see how it looks.

Never gave gigya a thought before but I will now. Maybe I can change the urls for other seasonal albums at WS once I get more familiar with this kind of shortcode.

All righty, here it is. I do see the words Shockwave Flash. That would be great if you could help me convert it--

We're not allowed to use flash, javascript and iframe codes, for security reasons. Flash can be embedded if converted into the right shortcode, so yes paste the code here between backticks.

wildwanderingirl — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 16:46:04 +0000

Correction - you don't see the brackets but it is an http: kind of link for an .swf file.

I'm not real handy with text widgets, haven't really done much with them before now.

As you can see by a peep at my blog sidebar, I have been trying to create a Webshots slide show with a code they provide. It's a lengthy code so I won't reproduce it here (unless requested). What I get is the title that I give the slide show and some kind of code that is in brackets < and > . When the link is clicked on, you see a black screen courtesy of WS which looks fine, but I'm not getting any images. It says it's "playing" but not for me. Is that just me and my stupid draggy dialup, or is the code really not working? - thanks

Thx!

airodyssey on "ammap - visited countries"

airodyssey — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 10:07:10 +0000

That's JavaScript, and I'm afraid you can't use that in WordPress.com:

thanks for the link, i checked section B of the 2nd link but i dont think it applies to the ammap code does it? maybe i just dont see it though... maybe you can help me out by telling me what i need to insert into my wordpress HTML page now?

here is an example:

addLocation('CF', '', '', ''); //Central African Republic
addToFlash();

so.addVariable("stageWidth", 728);
so.addVariable("stageHeight", 450);
so.addVariable("infoOver", "enabled");
so.addVariable("zoomFunction", "checked");
so.addVariable("bgColor", "666666");
so.addVariable("visitedColor", "5EB7DE");
so.addVariable("notVisitedColor", "CDCDCD");
so.addVariable("countryBordersColor", "666666");
so.addVariable("helpTextColor", "000000");
so.addVariable("helpText", "Mark the area you wish to zoom in");

so.addParam("scale", "noscale");
so.addParam("salign", "lt");

so.write("visitedcountries");
</script>

<table width="728" bgcolor="#333333" border="0" cellspacing="4"><tr><td style="color: #FFFFFF; font-face: Arial; font-size: 12px;"> Make your visited countries map</td><td align="right">JavaScript charts</td></tr></table>

Hello there,
I'm sorry but WordPress.com but your SWF file will have to be hosted elsewhere at some other file hosting service that supports SWF files. Perhaps Fileden or box.net. Or perhaps you use a Gigya shortcode in a text widget:

chrisontour84 — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 15:04:58 +0000

Hey there! If i use this tool http://www.ammap.com/visited_countries/index.php it wont display the map even though i have the correct flash version, maybe you can help me out? thx!

This application is created by interactive maps.
You can also have your visited countries map on your site.

If you see this message, you need to upgrade your flash player.

var so = new SWFObject(„http://www.ammap.com/visited_countries/visited_countries.swf“, „visitedcountries“, 728, 450, „7″, „#000000″);

etc.etc.

Thanks
chris

You won't be able to do that. We can't use flash on WordPress.com.

Have you tried the new slideshow function wp.com added recently?
