Hi folks! Well, after searching around in this forum and finding now help with the FCKeditor's problem with embedding a Flash coding like from YouTube or somewhere else ... I had to find a fix as I had a customer that couldn't embed Flash coding.
So, I found where the problem is at and it is NOT with the FCKeditor. I use PHPMaker which uses the FCKeditor as a 3rd party add-on. The FCKeditor has nothing to do with the erasing of the object, param and embed coding. When you click "edit" on the PHPMaker editor page, that contains the FCKeditor for the text area field ... PHPMaker string replaces any embedded tags and adds <x> to make the tag not work. I found this by comparing what I was seeing on the screen in the PHPMaker and FCKeditor screens with what ACTUALLY was in the MySQL table.
To make a long story short ... if you go to the phpfn50.php file and down to about line number 2781 where you see this array defined:
$ra1 = Array( ...
Just wipe out the embed, param and object references, leaving the array variable of course, and all works PERFECTLY! Hope this helps some of you. And if you're using FCKeditor with some other software other than PHPMaker, then you'll just need to hunt inside its PHP files to find the same sort of thing.
