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:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"

</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.
