v1.5.14 TinyMCE editor not displaying flash SWF

Seems that the tinyMCE editor in joomla version 1.5.14 is a little buggy. I’ve already encountered 2 problems with it, which after a few sleepless nights I’ve finally solved..

First problem:
The wysiwyg editor doesn’t have an icon to embed media.
Solution:
Open the plugin Editor – TinyMCE in the Plugin Manager (Extensions -> Plugin Manager) and set the parameters as follows:
- Functionality to Extended

Second problem:
After inserting a swf (Using the insert media button), the swf doesn’t display at all when viewing the site. On closer inspection of the code, you will notice that it’s magically changed from OBJECT to IMG
Solution:
Open the plugin Editor – TinyMCE in the Plugin Manager (Extensions -> Plugin Manager) and set the parameters as follows:
- Code Clean Up = Always
