Hello, I'm a newbie here. I have a custom-made SWF file that I want to insert into an HTML page using MS Frontpage. Can anybody offer some help on how to do this????

Welcome to the forums Mikey007!

You might check out Adding Flash (http://www.timeforweb.com/frontpage/forum_posts.asp?TID=3673) if you want FP to do it for you. Or you can esport the FLA to SWF and the Flash program will also give you the HTML code as well.

well u use <embed> ...em i cant rememebr all of it

the way i do it:
-go to flash and export as html
-put the html into notepad and copy the embed part

nice, quick, and ez!


u do have flash, dont you? (yes, i did read the custom made part, just asking to make sure)

Don't use the standard Flash output generated by Flash or Dreamweaver. Use standards! :)

There you go. Cheers!

hello Mikey007,
jst use dreamweaver and use the insert flash button to add the file into a html page.. it would be really easy..
u jst need to click and insert the file..
itz done..

Thank you all for the advice and the welcome! I dont have Flash or Dreamweaver.... I'm hoping for a facility in Frontpage that says "Insert Flash". I am downloading "Flasher" as we speak. Thanks and feel free to add any alternative methods.

ok..dude u use front page only.. tat would also be fine

The adding flash link that I gave you also gave you an add-in (http://www.jimcoaddins.com/addins.aspx) to accomplish this a lot better.

Having said that - depending on what version of FP you are using, you can try to go to Insert - Web Component - Advanced Controls - Movie in Flash Format

What I posted gives you the source code to enter into the HTML document. What more do you want?
