I've actually sussed this out myself - the board is wrong - well misleading anyway it doesn't put the value bit in the example

here is what it should be like (without the spaces of course)
Note aswell there are no quotes used in the tag - another mistake I made.

Et Voila !

Nice One Dannst! :D

ya see mate - you are following the example how it is explained in the tips bit on this site which is misleading - you need to paste the url again between the tags

[ swf=http://www.digital-orgazm.com/OSANEW.swf]http://www.digital-orgazm.com/OSANEW.swf[/swf]

take the space out - et voila

i dont know what they are the restrictions but at the mo ive tried
[ swf=http://www.digital-orgazm.com/OSANEW.swf]612x96]http://www.digital-orgazm.com/OSANEW.swf]612x96[/swf]

[ swf=612x96]http://www.digital-orgazm.com/OSANEW.swf]http://www.digital-orgazm.com/OSANEW.swf[/swf] the 612x96 is original size of the signature.
and just tried
[ swf=[size=612x96]http://www.digital-orgazm.com/OSANEW.swf]http://www.digital-orgazm.com/OSANEW.swf[/swf]

Yeah I dont think the VB code can take params mate it will just go off the default exported movie size - if ya wanna change the size you would have to re-export it i reckon
