    Hi, I`m dutch so forgive me if my english is bad .

    To refer to your second question:

    Meta tags are information tags witch are read by search engines, so if you go to a search engine and you type in
    "Flash" it searches webpages and reads the meta tags, which where filled with the information provided by you.

    example:
    If you wanted people to know who the auther is and copywright and or language, the meta tag would be :

    <meta name="Author" content="Your name here">
    <meta name="Copyright" content="&copy; 2001 - Your name here">

    Or if you would like to specify what the content of your site is, the meta tag would be :

    <meta name="description" content="This site is all about flash and some HTML blabla bladiblabla etc.">

    Or you could specify key words, then the tag would be:

    <meta name="keywords" content="flash, internet, web design, bla, blabla, etc.">

    so our basic meta tag would be :

    <meta name="[here goes text]" content="[here text]">

    In a website you can use as much meta tags as your heart desires, as long as you put them in the beginning of the <head></head>

    thats all !!
    I hope i`ve been helpfull (this is my first reply )
    (if you`ve got some flash expertise, please help me, search this site for user name Sidney de Koning, there only 1 post by me )

    Have fun coding HTML !

    Meta tags r tags that provide info about the page. One of them is the keywords tag. Meta tags r placed inside the <head>. Like:

    <head>
    <title>Untitled Document</title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
    <meta name="keywords" content="one, two, three, four">
    </head>

    U can register manually by going to each search engine separatelly. There u can find instructions on how to register.
    U can wait a couple of months (or more) for the sniffer robots to pass from your page.
    U can use a submission program to do the work for u (this costs cause u must buy the program).
