Hey, I'm having some problems embedding some swfs into my div profile. Its really strange- before I didn't have this problem at all with the exact same code. Every time I try using any embed tags, or even explicitly defined flash code, "embed" is replaced with "blockedContent". Does this mean Myspace has stopped letting people post new code with flash?

Here's an example of what I'm using:

No idea! I thought it might be the url size too but i tried a really short one and that didnt work either. Maybe this is something Myspace just implemented?

it's been filtered out because of the 'ali g' default picture virus that hit during the weekend.
the <embed> tag will come back [i think] once they figure out how to completely filter out flash.
or else all the annoying at-times-browser-crashing profile owners will throw a fit.

Thanks for the info! No wonder it didn't work. Is there any temporary workaround to using <embed>? Cause my profile looks really strange with a large white placeholder. tongue.gif
