Guidelines for Posting Content to MySpace

• Please refrain from using quote chars (') in your code. Use only double-quotes (").
• MySpace does not allow <table> or <div> tags in bulletins (they remove these tags if added).
• Links that open pop-ups are not allowed, so please avoid using those.
• MySpace prefers the <object> tag over the <embed> tag and will alter the code if it does not meet their requirements. Below is an example of the format that will work for MySpace and across all social networks.

Example of a universal Flash embedded in HTML code:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000
    codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" 
    width="300" height="400" id="widget_name" align="middle">
    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
    <param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
    <param name="movie" value="http://www.domain.com/path/to/widget.swf" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />

    <embed src="http://www.domain.com/path/to/widget.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" 
        width="300" height="400" name="widget_name" align="middle" 
        allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" 
        pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"  
        FlashVars="var1=12345&var2=67890"/>
    </embed>

    <param name="FlashVars" value="var1=12345&var2=67890" />
</object>

• Please avoid Javascript-based embed codes. They can be identified by the <script>...</script> tags within which they are enclosed.
• MySpace disables external links originating in Flash widgets. To walk around this issue, add to your widget code that will display a copy URL box.
