 I'm trying to embed some flash to a page on my site, I'm entering the
 correct <object> & <enbed> code into the page, which displays fine.

 However, If I goto edit the page at a later date the code gets mangled,
 wordpress inserts a </object> before the <embed> and replaces me closing
 /> with ></embed>

 This is a real pain, as it means I have to re-edit my flash every time i
 alter the page.

 Is there a tag to prevent wordpress altering html, or should this be
 reported as a bug? - I'm guessing the html tidy process doesn't like
 <object> & <embed>

 The HTML i'm adding to the code window can be seen here:

 ---
 <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
 codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
 height="600" width="500">
 <param name="movie" value="/Files/polaroid.swf" />
 <param name="menu" value="false" />
 <param name="quality" value="high" />
 <param name="flashvars" value="flickrID=17378729 at N00" /><embed
 src="/Files/polaroid.swf" menu="false" quality="high" bgcolor="#fff"
 flashvars="flickrID=17378729 at N00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
 pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" height="600"
 width="500" /></object>

 I know that as a wordaround I could probably disable the TinyMCE editor,
 but 95% of the time it's fine.
