Hi there I'm trying to add this game to a post, but it just keeps coming up as the code.

First I tried it on its own as below :

Code:
<a href="http://www.myspacearcade.com">Myspace Arcade - Free Flash Games Arcade</a><br /><object width="640" height="480">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.myspacearcade.comresources/20880.swf">
<embed src="http://www.myspacearcade.comresources/20880.swf" width="640" height="480">
</embed>
</object><br><a href="http://www.myspacearcade.com">Myspace Arcade - Free Flash Games Arcade</a>


Then I tried it with the code from the bbccode list like this :

Code:
[swf width=400 height=70]<a href="http://www.myspacearcade.com">Myspace Arcade - Free Flash Games Arcade</a><br /><object width="640" height="480">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.myspacearcade.comresources/20880.swf">
<embed src="http://www.myspacearcade.comresources/20880.swf" width="640" height="480">
</embed>
</object><br><a href="http://www.myspacearcade.com">Myspace Arcade - Free Flash Games Arcade</a>[/swf]


In both instances the post showed with the codes in and no flash game.. could you please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Many thanks in advance Smile http://chitchatnstuff.forumarena.com

Code:
[swf width=700 height=500]http://www.myspacearcade.com/resources/20880.swf[/swf]


All you need between the two swf tags is the url of the .swf file.



Incidently you had missed out a forward slash after .com and before resources, and also you should set the dimensions appropriately to say 700 by 500, as per above.

Depending on theme, the game you have chosen here may be a bit wide for a forum post, it is best to aim for 500 by 500 sized games to get the best fit.
