Blog friendly version

If you experience strange behaviour you might find this blog friendly version works better, it doesn't use JavaScript.



Cut and paste this code:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" id="smgplayer" width="500" height="311" align="middle"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /> <param name="movie" value="http://www.switch.tv/xid/100s1p2f0" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><embed src="http://www.switch.tv/xid/100s1p2f0" menu="false" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="500" height="311" id="smgproxy" name="smgplayer" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /> </object>

Myspace friendly version

Myspace filters out potentially unsafe HTML and JavaScript so you'll need to use a cut down version of the embed code as shown here:



Cut and paste this code:
<embed src="http://www.switch.tv/xid/100s1p2f0" menu="false" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="500" height="311" id="smgproxy" name="smgplayer" align="middle" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
