embed video not working on demo page

Hey guys, I try embedding a youtube video on the demo page and on my own local host and neither one works. I tried doing it through the flash button on the toolbar and pasting the embed object code into the source and all I get is a box with the word "flash" in red in the middle. I have been trying with good links from youtube, and when I use the flash button from the toolbar, I don't even get a preview.

Needless to say, I have flash player installed (I can watch stuff on youtube), so I am really puzzled by why this is not working, even on the demo page on cksource.com!

I am really stumped guys I must be missing something. Please help!

Re: embed video not working on demo page

I too faced this stupid problem and later figured out that CKEditor is purposefully inserting a fake object (see the fakeobjects plugin) when you add a flash video. It shows the preview in the Flash Properties dialog but it doesn't play in the editor box. The only solution is click on Preview butto and see the video in a new browser window.
You will not get the answer in this forum.

Got a reply on stackoverflow.

The trick is to save the data using editor.getData(), the ckeditor will replace the flash image(fake object) with the actual code. Hope this helps
