I am able to save flash movies and games right off of sites into the .swf format. I want to know, how can I put those files onto my website using html. I have a part in my site where I can type in html code but I don't know how to get the files on there. Could someone help me out with this?

CODE
<embed src="swf/egg_01.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="330"></embed>

Nothing seems to show up? What if I were to change the page that the flash is on? What if I wanted this page to be my flash thing... Requested page here. I am sorry if this is out of your way...

The object tag is a bit harder to use and is newer; The only two good easy ways I know is through the <embed> or the <object>, above. <embed> is slowly being replaced by <object> (or so I've read).

Ok... can someone tell me what I should add here?
CODE
<object url=http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/shavecut hieght=300 width=300></object>
All I got was a little 300x300 pixel bow that has one of those "X"s in the top left hand corner of the screen... What else should be added to this?

I never used the object tag before, but the problem might be that you spelled 'hieght'
Now insert parameters between the object tags.
It should look something like
CODE
<object (whateverwhatever)>
<param name="type" value="officialtype" />
<param name="URL" value="something.swf" />
<param name="Autostart" value="true" />
<param name="Loop" value="true" />
</object>

I'm not sure what is the exact type value of Flash, and keep in mind that there are more different parameters, and the last two ones shown here (at least) should be optional.

The best way to present this is to make seperate versions, one with <embed> for older browsers and <object> for newer ones, and script it so that it finds the browser of user and depending on browser and version displays one of the above.

Actually, I'm pretty sure the difference in embed and object are browser differences. Some need embed, some need object, some can use both.

thanks. I will try this out.

And I think you did this. You need to upload the .swf to your site.

Ok... I need to have the file actualy in my site... that should be too hard... I found a tutorial on that one site you guys gave me and it came right out and said what I should put in for each of the little boxes but nothing came up... I will try to upload the flash file into my site... I thought it would upload it from my hard drive but I guess not...

Ok, this is the code you use. I use it for all the flashes on my site.

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="50" height="50" align="left">
   <param name="movie" value="location_of_flash">
   <param name="quality" value="high">
   <param name="PLAY" value="false">
   <embed src="location_of_flash" width="50" height="50" align="left" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" play="false"></embed>
 </object>
<!----The location of the flash is a URL and must be located in your site. An example would be http://www.randomsite.com/testmovie.swf----!>
<!----Also, you might want to get rid of the 'align' tag----!>
