Few days back I tried to paste some of my flash presentations from one of the community website (www.authorstream.com), which provides embed tags you can paste in your blogs. It didn’t work.

In spaces.live.com blog you can paste your video or flash embed tag using “Embed videos” at the bottom of message editor. I simply copied the code provided by the website and pasted it in pop up input box which I received after clicking on “Embed videos” button. When I clicked save button I received following error: “The embed code you've entered is not supported by Spaces. Only Flash video players are allowed.” After some analysis I came to know that spaces.live.com only allow embed code of the whole provided object code or auto generated flash embed code. So when I put flash embed code in the provided input box it just strip of the object part of the code and retain only embed part of the code. Now type value must be present in the embed code for it to be worked in spaces i.e. type="application/x-shockwave-flash" otherwise you will get above mentioned error. After I updated the code and put type in embed code it worked fine.
