fckeditor not inserting flash

I'm setting up a site and testing fckeditor. Everything works great, except when it comes to inserting swf files. I upload the swf and follow directions but before it goes to the database something changes "<embed></embed>" with "<InvalidTag></embed>". How can i fix this?

Has anyone come across this type of issue, before? I'm not sure what to do, here.

Anyone? The swf file is uploading to the server, it just appears to be the code generated by fckeditor isn't correct.

Re: fckeditor not inserting flash

It is your server or framework the one that is rejecting the <embed> tag. Do some simple tests with a textarea

I replaced the plug-in with a textarea and you were right, even in the textarea the <embed> was changed to <InvalidTag>.

So what needs to be changed in order for this to stop happening?

Thanks for your help.

Okay, so now the tag isn't being replaced with "InvalidTag", anymore. But the flash isn't playing, now.

I looked at the source code, and there is just an embed tag for it. Doesn't it also need an object tag?
