Names in Flash html code

[Denver Dave]

This is more of a flash Q than Flix, but in the generated code which is typical for loading flash the name of the swf file is repeated 5 times. Are some of these redundant or are there situations where they may be different? Is there a place that discusses what each are used for? How does the player vs the content .swf enter into this?

The flash classid - is this something that must be generated new for each object or what are the ramifications if we reuse for different .swfs? What does the classid do?

Thanks.

I found this web page which was quite helpful as a start:

Hi.
The easiest thing to do is to replace the name, but you have to make sure things like the swf dimensions are also correct.
If you use the automatic html export while encoding with Flix, the name and dimensions will be set for you.
