i am building a website that comes with flash intro, yet I can't figure out how to make it work.
I also have a site that uses fireworks and cant figure that out either, any suggestions...Im still learning.
Thanks

You didn't really say what wasn't working with the Flash.

There are many programs that can create *.SWF or Flash files. If you're using Macromedia Flash, you need to go to "Publish Settings..." and "Export Movie..." from the File menu.

Yes from the publish settings you can check "html" and "flash" and then hit publish. It will then create an html file for you with the code to include the movie (although it's a little sloppy) and you can edit the code if you'd like.

ok, so after I do that will it automatically go into html format or do i just extract the movie into html? Like I said I am still learning flash setup for a new website and cannot figure out how to add the intro to the html page..
i will definitely donate to your site once I get this all figured out.
and thanks for the quick replies.

You don't need Flash for the HTML file. The *.SWF file is like a *.GIF or *.JPG file. Right click on other Web pages that use Flash and search the code for "SWF".

In many cases, you can just borrow and modify the code that starts with <object>, references the SWF file, and ends with </object>. Just change the file referenced to whatever file you're using.

Maybe this would help:

This piece of code does the following:
"tells" the browser the version of the plugin necessary to run your .SWF movie, in this case 6.0.29.0
It has the name of the movie, the source, the quality and the size of the movie so it should be presented the way you created it, in this case movie.swf has the following attribute:
The quality to be reproduced is HIGH.
It has a screen size of 640x480 pixels (that can also be used as percentage).
Also, the code above identifies the plug-in version and if you don't have it, it can redirect you to Macromedia for download.
I hope this information is useful for you.
