using flash within Frontpage
Hi.
Ive been trying to import a flash animation (SWF) into my website. The website is put together using Microsoft Frontpage XP, is this possible? when I do it, all I get is a page full of script.
Thanks, Rob.

you will get a load of new code if you try to insert a SWF into a web page as it needs the "object" and "embed" tags so IE and Nutscrape knows what to do with it. You will also have to make sure that the SWF is in a folder that is with the rest of the site - I normally make a folder called "SWF" and lob all flash movies in there.
This is what your code should look like for a flash file called "test" in a folder called "SWF":
<body>
<object classid="clsid
27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="512" height="240"><param name="movie" value="SWF/test.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="SWF/test.swf quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="512" height="240"></embed></object>
</body>
Notice that the Flash file is referenced twice, once for IE and once for Nutscrape (netscape)
Hope this helps - give me a shout if you need owt else
