I posted a tutorial yesterday on how to embed all kinds of media files, but I forgot Flash. Today, Mitsubishi (another author here) posted a Flash file that didn’t work out so well. It’s not his fault.

First, go to Start -> Control Panel -> Folder Options -> View tab -> make sure “Hide extensions for known file types” is unchecked. This is to make sure that Windows displays the file extensions.

In order to embed Flash files, you’ll need to view the source first in order to get the flash URL. Go to View in your browser -> Source. Press ctrl+f or Edit -> Find and type in .swf.

The next step is to copy the URL of the Flash file. Look for a string (series of letters) that begins with http:// and ends in .swf (what you just searched). Copy everything from http:// to .swf. Paste what to just copied into your browser and hit Enter.

Also note the width and height. If it does not specifically list the width and height, get the first and second number after the flash URL file name. First number is width and second number is height.

Next, save the flash file. Go to File -> Save (or Save As…).

Now, follow the instructions below.

1. Upload your file to my server.
   
2. Copy the following HTML 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='550' height='400'> <param name='movie' value='REPLACEWITHFILENAMEHERE'> <param name='quality' value='high'> <embed src='REPLACEWITHFILENAMEHERE' quality='high' pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' width='550' height='400'></embed> </object>
3. Paste what you copied into the post box
   
4. Go to the Browse tab and copy and paste the file name. Right click -> select Copy link address, Copy link location, or something to that effect.
   
5. Replace REPLACEWITHFILENAMEHERE from the HTML code above with the file’s actual name. You should have pasted twice.
6. OPTIONAL: If you know the dimensions of the movie, change those as well in the HTML code.
