There are several methods of embedding Flash elements into HTML pages.
1st method:
To embed the Flash intro that you just edited into an HTML page, you should go back to your
Flash program and do the following steps:
Step 1
Choose
"File > Open". Open the Flash intro you have modified.
Step 2
Choose
"File > Export Movie" or press
"CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + s"
Step 3
Name the file
"intro.swf". Choose the location where the file is to be stored (in
your HTML folder). Click
"OK".
Step 4
Open the HTML page where you want to insert your Flash movie. Insert this code:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0"
width="700"
height="322">
<param name="movie" value="intro.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="intro.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="700"
height="322"></embed>
</object>
In the code above there is both an <embed> tag and an <object> tag. This is because
the <object> tag is recognized by Internet Explorer, and Mozilla recognizes the
<embed> tag and ignores the
<object> tag. There are a few more attributes used:
classID is an attribute to the
<object> tag. It tells Internet Explorer to load the
ActiveX plug-in if it is not installed. The plug-ins page is an attribute to the
<embed> tag. It displays a link to the Shockwave
download page if Netscape does not have it. A broken icon will appear on the Web page if the user
does not have the Flash plug-in installed.
Step 5
Save the HTML file and run it in a browser window to preview the flash intro.
2 method:
The Flash program can generate both SWF movie and HTML page adding all the necessary attributes
into the code for a flash intro:
Step 1
Choose
"File > Open". Open the Flash intro you have modified.
Step 2
Choose
"File > Publish" or press
"shift+F12". Flash will now create the
<object>,
<param>, and
Choose
"File > embed tags for you". It will also create the classID and
plug-ins page attributes.
Step 3
Open the HTML document that Flash created in a browser window to preview the flash intro.
