How To integrate flash into html

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.
