Fix WordPress Plugin HTML5 Swiffy Insert

Google Swiffy

Swiffy is a web-based tool developed by Google that converts SWF files to HTML5.
Its main goal is to display Flash contents on devices that do not support Flash, such as iPhone, iPad, and Android Tablets.

UPDATE 31/3/2013

We have released our own ER Swiffy Insert Plugin.
It was created from scratch with additional support for multiple run time script versions and it only loads the HTML5 code if there is a shortcode placed at the page/post.

    Hello there,
    I’m having issues with putting a 2nd swiffy embed on my site,
    feel like I’m doing everything right!
    I looked at the page source, and it’s just not embedding on the 2nd page.

    Can anyone help??

    Got an HTML5 ad working on my site. However, whenever free text areas (search bar or comments) are used, the page redirects to the ad’s link. Is there a fix for this?
