So, I've been dicking around with the swf tags, trying to get this player

http://www.aprilwinchell.com/wp-content/plugins/podpress/players/1pixelout_player.swf

to play this file

http://www.aprilwinchell.com/media/audio/OBAMA_FRIES.mp3

So far I know to do this:

[ swf=http://www.aprilwinchell.com/wp-content/plugins/podpress/players/1pixelout_player.swf]width=300 height=30[/swf]

which just gets me this:
width=300 height=30

The problem here is I have no idea how to include the file to be played into the embed code.

Anyone familiar with how to use the bbcode swf tags?

For anyone interested in where I got the clip from, read this article. It is full of lulz and win :downs:

If you know the link to the mp3 file, you could use the mp3 tags in the forums.
The code should look like this:

Right now I don't have any sound, so I have no idea if the link worked.

If you are persistent to use the swf file, there might be a way to add it, it should be similar to the way you can embed college humor's videos using the swf tags. However, I have no idea how.
