   How can one manage to fet a flash movie "swf" playing in the blog ?
   My frind has a banner made in flash and he wants to post it in my blog, but it seems impossible

   but everytime i place a <object> or <embed> tag it just disappears

   Is this all just because you're selling the "Video Upgrade" !?
   Ridiculous :(

   It's not ridiculous, and it not a selling pitch:

   Flash cannot be added to a Wordpress.com blog, for security reasons. I suggest you upload it to an approved platform, like YouTUbe, and then use that link to put it in the blog.
