How do i put my flah movie on to my website?

[stride89]

Hey everyone, im really new to flash, and i decided to make a flash movie. Now i made a little movie, only sort of a demo just to test, and i then thought i would try diff ways of putting it on a website. Bt the problem is i cant. Ive looked on the net, on macromedia's website but nothing works. On their website i says i have to use this code and replace a few things with the name of the movie but when i do and load up the web page theres just a white square. How do i get my movie on to my website?

I am sure your licensed copy of flash will explain it if you view the help files....

Are you using Dreamweaver too? If so this is, quite possibly the simplest way to do it.

Export your movie and html file into a seperate folder on your hard drive. One which doesn't contain your website.

Then open up the above html file in Dreamweaver. In 'design' view, click on the table surrounding the flash file, change to 'code' view and you should see all of the code including the 'embed' code is highlighted.

Right click and 'copy' this code. Then open up the page in your website where you want the flash movie to be. Again, in 'design' view, click inside the table where you want the flash move to sit, change to 'code' view, and inside the table tags where the cursor is, 'copy and paste the code.

Then all you need to do is drag and drop the exported .swf file from the original folder into the same folder which contains the .html file of your webpage.

Then in Dreamweaver, choose 'file' and 'preview in browser' to check if it has worked.

Then upload.

I hope this helps.
