Pasting Flash into HTML Code

[Seppe29]

I don't know how dumb this will sound but I'm a very new user to this whole flash thing. I found a flash clip from this site that I want to use, how can I get it to work on my site? Can I past the code into the html somewhere?? Also, I tried pasting some dhtml code for a scrolling text script into my html and it seemed to have removed most of my content, from the logo do pretty much all the text that I put in, the only thing that was left was a banner and the footnotes. What am I doing wrong there?? Can anyone help me??

Thanks!!

I hope you asked permission of the owner of the SWF before you used it in your site ...

You need to paste <OBJECT> and <EMBED> tags for a SWF to work in HTML. Here's an example of the tags from a SWF in my own site ...

<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
 codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
 WIDTH="120" HEIGHT="400" id="dropMenu03" ALIGN="">
 <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="dropMenu03.swf">
 <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
 <PARAM NAME=scale VALUE=exactfit>
 <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF>
<EMBED src="dropMenu03.swf" quality=high scale=exactfit bgcolor=#FFFFFF  WIDTH="120" HEIGHT="400" NAME="dropMenu03" ALIGN=""
 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED>
</OBJECT>

The parameters will change from movie to movie, so I suggest you use the code from the HTML page that you got the SWF from ... BUT MAKE SURE YOU ASK THE AUTHOR'S PERMISSION FIRST!

Thanks for the info! The SWF that I got is from www.flashkit.com, they give you the code there for you to use for free as long as you add a link on your website for them. Check it out!

Thanks again!
