Hello,

Im not very good at my HTML, i know enough to build a basic website but i want to insert a flash file into my website and i dont have a clue how to do it, its a .swf file extension.

Any help would be greatly welcome,

Thanks in advance,

Alex

Flash provides the HTML to do this, and other programs should do this as well. Look for the appropriate option when publishing your .swf

You should really export your .swf with an html file but if you can't for some reason, this should help:

I believe <img src="image.swf" alt="" /> should work.

The <img> tag is for images, it won't call a .swf file.

However, theoretically speaking, you should be able to use the <object> tag (used to call .swf files) to call images as well. In fact, the <object> tag was originally created to make <img> obsolete. It is meant to be the generic calling agent to replace object-specific elements. How about that?

Of course, <embed> is even better recognized for calling Flash files, and (IIRC) it's not even a part of the latest HTML spec!

So confusing...

Just an example, usually the code from the published files will have the object attribute etc etc around it

<embed src="whatever.swf" menu="false" quality="best"
scale="noscale" bgcolor="######" width="###" height="###" name="sageheader" align="middle"
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />


blah blah blah

The best way to go, if you want to have XHTML 1.0 compliant code, is to use this code (its long, I know):

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"
width="widthpx" height="heightpx">
<param name="movie" value="yourmovie.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />

<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" />
<!--[if !IE]> <-->
<object data="yourmovie.swf"
width="widthpx" height="heightpx" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" />
<param name="pluginurl" value="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
FAIL (the browser should render some flash content, not this).
<!--> <![endif]-->
</object>

Thank you,

Alex
