What kind of difficulties that are you having? Need any help?

ariff @ariffshah

Yeah. Really do.
Can’t seem to embed it correctly.
I’ve uploaded all the files on my server, changed the image path in the xml file but can’t seem to call the flash object.

I’m trying to put it in one of my post and publish it as sticky welcoming post.

At last, I’ve succeed in embedding the code. Yeah, I scoured your kissing crust codes to find out what’s wrong with mine. Now I’m addicted to it!

It’s just so cool!

Congrates!

Btw, I have better news for you. I just found out that there is actually a WordPress plugin for Cu3Er. It will definitely make the embedding process ridiculously easy.

You should try it. It is simply cool and easy. I always thought that I won't ever be able to create flash slides and presentations but with cu3er, I don't have to worry about it anymore.

March 01 2010 07:10 am

ariff

Space? What do you mean? You just need to create a custom sized slides.
