KFE 1.3.1
08 Mar 07
Just one day after the release of Kimili Flash Embed 1.3, there were a few minor bugs that surfaced. I have duly quashed them and tidyed up a bit more, the result of which is KFE 1.3.1.
There was nothing alarming or major about said bugs, but for those of you who are interested, they are:
The fid attribute is now handled properly.
Should you choose to use it, it will take the value you set for fid and assign that as an ID for your SWF. That ID becomes useful by giving the SWF a handle, allowing you to issue commands to it using Javascript. If you don’t provide an fid value, one is automatically generated based upon the SWF filename.
KFE for Textpattern’s “Legacy SWFObject Mode” now works correctly
There was a Javascript syntax error being rendered by 1.3 when using Legacy SWFObject Mode. This release corrects that error.
That’s all. The rest is the same. Go forth and Download Kimili Flash Embed 1.3.1

great plugin, thanks! I have been a fan of swf object for a while now and this made using it within wordpress so easy!

What a sweet plugin! Thanks for making this available.
Is there an easy way to add space or padding around the flash so the text doesn’t run right up against the flash?
everything i’m trying isn’t working. wordpress rewrites my divs and your tag doesn’t seem to support hspace. thoughts?

@Greg – The easiest way to add space around the flash movies that KFE inserts is with CSS. Since KFE 1.2, there is a targetclass attribute that allows you to assign a class name to the div that the movie gets rendered in. If you don’t specify anything for the targetclass, it will give it a class name of flashmovie by default.
With this in mind, you should be able to add something like the following to your CSS and get the margin you’re looking for:
.flashmovie { margin: 1em 0; }
Let me know how that works out for you.

Michael … thanks!
That’s perfect … the solution I was looking for. I missed that when looking at the attributes … i think i scanned by it thinking it meant something like target = _blank

I’m using your plugin to include my flash game on a “page” in wordpress… but when I change the “Permalink Structure” (ie, to use custom url rewrite rules), the page is suddenly a 404. Other pages without flash on them work fine.
Do you have any idea why this might happen? (I’ll look into it eventually, and let you know what I find, but I was curious if you’ve seen this behavior before.)
Thanks for a super easy-to-use plugin!

It lives! Yay!
Were you able to iron out the conflicts with WP-Cache2? I’d e-mailed you about this awhile back, but I think I may have used a different address. When both plugins are used together, you get the KFE insertion code instead of the flash movie.

Troubleshooting question.
I am finding a challenge with getting the buttons up on my video – the most recent post at http://www.sambeatson.com
Could you tell me what I’ve got wrong here:
[kml_flashembed movie=“http://www.sambeatson.com/videos/aug8small/forex-small.swf” height=“225” width=“325” fversion=“8” fvars=“csConfigFile= http://www.sambeatson.com/videos/aug8small/forex-small_config.xml; csColor= “FFFFFF” /]
Thanks

@Sam – It looks like your double quotes aren’t balanced, and it’s throwing off your fvars attribute. Try removing the double quote before the FFFFFF in the last line – that ought to do the trick.
