Flash Object movie in iWeb

[JeffN]

As this is all new to me, I'm hoping someone here can clue me in.
I've output an object movie as a Flash .swf file.
Before I get into a long description as to what I've tried so far, can anyone tell me how to get a Flash object movie into iWeb page?

Thanks,
JeffN

Hmm ... iWeb is like iPhone, iPod and other things like Apple. or is iWeb a unique hosting service by others?

Question? What is iWeb and where can we see one in action.

Oh I forgot to mention.. we use several PC's.

iWeb is a software, like dreamweaver.

Insert a flash object movie is the same as insert any flash file. After google I find this tutorial:

Hope it helps.

Here's the answer I found for others who might need to know:

Create a folder on your server - FlashFolder.
Upload your flash file to this folder.

The URL of your file is ....
http://www.mywebsite.com/FlashFolder/FlashFile.swf

Where:
www.mywebsite.com  is your website URL
FlashFolder is the name of the new folder you created on your server
FlashFile is the name of your file
.swf is the file extension

Copy the code to a text editor [Text Edit.app], substitute your Movie Name and URL and then paste it into a Snippet box in iWeb.

Change the height and width of the frame to suit your movie size.


<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shoc ... n=6,0,40,0"
width="640" height="480"
id="MovieName">
<param name="movie" 
value="http://www.mywebsite.com/FlashFolder/FlashFile.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="http://www.mywebsite.com/FlashFolder/FlashFile.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff"
width="640" height="480"
name="MovieName" align="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</embed>
</object>

The text in Blue is what the user need to change to fit their situation.
Make the width and hight in px, the size of the box you want it to be in your browser (iWeb)

For Thoen, the flash content was uploaded here:
www.thoenphoto.com/FlashFolder/name of .swf

where the "FlashFolder" is at www.thoenphoto.com but inside the public_html folder
The naming is both case and space sensitive.
