Embedding Flash

Flash is an animated image format from Macromedia (now part of Adobe) that is widely used on the Web.

To embed Flash:

1.
Begin the object element with <object.
2.
Use type="application/x-shockwave-flash" to indicate the MIME type for Flash animations.
3.
Type data="filename.swf", where filename.swf is the name and location of the Flash animation on your server.

Specify the dimensions of your animation with width="w" height="h", where w and h are both values in pixels.

Finish the opening object tag by typing >.
6.
Add <param name="movie" value="filename.swf" />, where filename.swf matches what you used in step 3.
7.
Type </object> to complete the object.
