Hello -
We are working with the ability to embed videos into documents. Currently, we are using the 'Raw HTML' functionality to place 'embed' code. When a video is embedded this way, in the <object> tag, the values of the classid and codebase attributes are set to String.Empty when the page is rendered. This is causing problems for us. The player that we are using does not work correctly when these fields do not have the correct data. I have heard secondhad that this may have been previously identified and targeted for a fix? If that's the case, what would be the best way for us to update/upgrade our version? (We are currently on a customized version of 3.0.2)
Thanks - Rick Steurer
Hi Rick,
This issue should have been fixed in 2.5.9 and 3.0.0. Would you please include a sample of the embed code that you are trying to use that doesn't work? Thanks.

Manually removed the noted attributes above to keep the video private.
Hey Troy,
Those classid and codebase values are already empty, would you please paste a copy of the original embed code (before it was ever pasted into SBS)?
-Todd
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/swflash.cab"
The classid and codebase are the standard ones for a SWF.

I will close this case and follow up on the linked case.
