How do i put flash on my site?

[Rob]

Hey,
I made a flash banner but i dont know how to put it on my site,
I'm using frontpage and the file has a .fla extension, I try dragging the file onto the page but it just comes up as the name and alink to the file.

i'd probably use dreamweaver. If you uploaded the photo to like photobucket there should be an html tag to put it on ur site. just spot where in the code you could put it

fla is not the playble format of flash its the one that contains the data for the flash movie, aka no compiled.
The one you wnat to insert in tpo the page is the swf file.

The insettion code for the swf is


<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="number" height="number">
<param name="movie" value="url of flash">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="url of flash" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="number" height="number"></embed>
</object>

I got the trial version of Macromedia Flash MX 2004 to make it,
I think i need to get a code for it, like html to put in the HTML tag.
