Once you have completed your Flash animation, publish it with a .swf file (along with .gif and .jpg files).
Inside your html, at the point where you want the animation to appear, paste this code:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" WIDTH="xxx" HEIGHT="xxx" id="Yourfilename" ALIGN="">
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="xxxxx.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#333399> <EMBED src="images/features/xxxxx.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#ffffff WIDTH="xxx" HEIGHT="xxx" NAME="xxx" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED> </OBJECT>
Make sure you place the .swf file into your "images" fold and within the above code, ensure the link is true. Also, in the code above, replace anything with "x"s with your own information.
I have this in a site I maintain for a client.

  • Who makes the nicest, easiest to use Flash website design software?

    Please forgive the beginner's question. I would like to build
    a flash site like
    http://www.hockaday.org from an
    easy to use Flash template. You get what you pay for so my first
    choice isn't something for free but a 30-day free trial version
    would be nice.
    What I like best about
    http://www.hockaday.org is the
    great menus and that pictures continually reload in interesting
    ways.
    Maybe a template is too restrictive. Who makes the nicest,
    easiest to use Flash website design software that allows fast
    creation of those fancy menus and with other fast features to do
    nice things with pictures and motion?
    I need to create a site like
    http://www.hockaday.org
    immediately so I don't have the time to learn Flash first. What's
    my best bet?

    you are in a catch 22 - you don't have time to learn flash -
    yet you need to build an entire site
    immediately - you can't - sure you can download a template
    that is similar but if this forum is any
    proof, you almost need more flash knowledge trying to
    decipher most templates in order to edit them
    - search this forum, there are several posts per week from
    non-flash users who purchased templates
    and have no clue how to edit them. Often times it is hard for
    an educated flash user to
    reverse-engineer a FLA made by somebody else - Flash
    documents are blank canvases that can be setup
    a myriad ways by different users making the same thing - some
    developers are more organized than
    others - most templates are not organized but rather thrown
    together for a quick profit.
    You will simply need to learn enough flash to understand how
    it works or hire somebody to edit the
    template for you.
    hope this helps.

  • Preview image for videos on flash website. Help!

    Hi, I'm not sure if I'm at that right place so sorry if I'm wasting your time by asking this question but I'm having problems with my flash website.
    I want the video on my website to show a preview image before the video is played instead of it displaying a blank black frame. I went on component inspector - preview - and selected the frame of the animation that I wanted to be shown. But when I came to uploading my swf and html file the preview image for the video is still black. On component inspector - preview - it says 'To generate a runtime preview image, use the export button and load the image back by writing your own actionscript'. So I exported the image but I haven't got a clue how to write my own actionscript. I've spent hours trying to find help on this but I haven't been successful.
    Do you know how I can sort this out? Thank you

    Have a look at this tutorial: http://web.archive.org/web/20081012122149/http://www.monkeyflash.com/flash/poster_frame_fo r_flash_video/

  • Flash website design

    Hello Dreamwevaers
    I looking at this random website: http://www.iestudio.co.il/en/portfolio.html, is this flash based? im also scaling down and up the website and it doesnt seem responsive.
    so what Id like to know is, how come the websites dimensions fit across my monitor which is 24"inch 1920 x 1080 display but its not scalable?isnt the whole purrpose of this type of design
    to be responsive?
    Thank you

    Like I mentioned, Flash is essentially dead online. Adobe stopped development of it on mobile devices in 2011 to focus on HTML5 (which is nearly universally supported on handhelds). There are a lot of reasons Flash failed online with handhelds, here's an article (some would say a biased one), but the points made are valid in regards to Flash on mobile devices:http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
    I think the main thing that killed Flash online was touch screens. With everything moving to touch screens and the lack of mice on those devices, even the ones that could run Flash couldn't run it correctly because so much in Flash designed sites depends on the mouse.
    Flash isn't SEO friendly when used for an entire site because it uses a file that runs within an html page. Search engines look at html to decide what's important, rate and index pages. They can't look "into" the Flash file to see menus, links and relevant information. HTML5 (and CSS3), on the other hand, allows you to do a lot of what Flash does, but within "indexable" html mark-up.

  • I have a question about flash website design and google indexing!

    first off i want to say I hate HTML (call it HTM HELL) I love Flash.Im a big propononent of flash.OK about a month ago I built a 100% flash site,told google to crawl it,then come to find out they cant see any text inside images.So I did what i didnt want to do,I took all my hard work down and had to work even harder and created a fully 100% HTM hell site.and just under 4 weeks later google still has my flash site in its cache.the question im trying to get at is if google cant read 100% flash sites whats the point in creating flash sites(mine's a business site.)I want to get into creating flash sites for other people too but if google cant read them how would a person be able to do a search for say what i do:pc repair in google & then my flash site would come up in googles search results.This is potentially costing me lots of money.I dont like "coding" HTML i want to design in flash.HEEEeeelllppp!

    Google can crawl Flash, though I'm not sure how well, but either way nothing can read text that is not text - ie an image. The workaround - and still relevant for all other search engines, is to put all your content inside the div tag that your Flash is written into. The alternate content that one would see if they didn't have Flash, or didn't have JavaScript enabled.
    There is a good tutorial on SEO with Flash on the SWFObject site: http://blog.deconcept.com/2006/03/13/modern-approach-flash-seo/
    You can also just Google 'Flash SEO' and get a good deal of info.

  • PLEASE HELP - Flash Website template

    Hello
    I purchased a pretty cool flash website template for our film company and I have edited almost all of the website but I cannot figure out how to get my movie files to appear and play on my Portfolio page.
    Pleeeeeease help me. I am willing to send you the website files or you can go to www.discopoetfilms.com .
    I just want to figure this out. I am very new at flash so I really need detailed information or step by step.

    Hi,
    I think most of Flash template use XML file to load media. Look in the folder you purchase if there is an .xml file. If there is one, open it (with Dreamweaver or any other text editing software), inspect the nodes structure and you'll be able to understand how it's built.
    Hope this help !

  • Embedding SlideshowPro in a Flash Website

    Hello everyone at the Flash forums!
    I am currently trying to make a Flash website for my cousin's business, and his website should feature a portfolio gallery to display the work he has done (He is a contractor). I am trying to use the SlideshowPro plug-in which generates a very nice-looking Flash gallery that is about 50 times nicer than the one he is using on his website at the moment. One of the big things I like about SSP is that it offers a full-screen picture viewing mode, which would allow potential customers of his to see work he has done better than they are currently seeing.
    However, whenever I publish the website to test it and make sure everything is working okay, I go to the Portfolio page and test SSP in full screen. Once I come back from full screen, the gallery remains on top of the screen on every other page of the website. The audio also does this (It can play audio in the background while looking through the galleries you set up). Since I am somewhat new to Flash, I am not sure why it is doing this. Perhaps someone else has encountered this and has a fix or workaround that I could use.
    Thanks in advance, guys!
    Note: I attached a picture of the problem I am encountering so you guys can see what it is doing.
    Edit: I am not sure whether or not it is relevant, but I have the gallery set to appear in frame 117 and the Home button is set to go back to frame 115, before the gallery should even show up.
    Edit 2: I finally figured out how to get the gallery to not appear on other pages (Yippee!). However, the audio is still continuing to play when I navigate away from the Portfolio page.

    Alright, just figured I would update you guys. I redid the website so that it ran at a higher framerate and kept everything else the same as it was. As stated before, SSP is showing up right, but the audio still isn't working right. I've tried all of the AS codes I've been told to try and none of them have worked. It keeps telling me that every single code I've tried is not a function, so I don't know what I am doing wrong there.
    Also, not really related to SSP: I did add a contact form to the website, and I am now having problems with that not wanting to submit the data to the mailer.php file to send the form information to the designated e-mail address (I keep getting, "Error #2044: Unhandled securityError:. text=Error #2048: Security sandbox violation: http://sagesportfolio.webs.com/website.swf cannot load data from http://www.sagesportfolio.webs.com/mailer.php. at website_fla::MainTimeline/frame544()", minus the quotes). If anyone might be able to help with that, too, I would highly appreciate it.

  • Flash Websites - content panel

    Hi There
    I am new to flash and am looking for a tutorial which will help me create a specific end product.   I am trying to make a flash website (which i have the designs for) which will have links down the right hand side, but when the link is clicked a content panel apears in the middle of the screen with the correct text in it and maybe a link to download a PDF,  there will be a few links down the right hand of the screen and therefore different content for each link.  the site will only consit of 1 page and the only thing which will change is this content panel which is centralised.
    Any help would be very appreciated.
    Thanks

    I don't know of any specific tutorials for what you want to build, but it sounds like you should be able to create each section as a movieclip and use the buttons to make the current section invisible and the called section visible.  What you might try doing to get started is to use Google and search for code related to whatever version of actionscript you'll be using in terms of making buttons work.

  • Trying To Add UIScrollbar To Flash Website But FLA File Has No Layers

    I was asked to add content to a flash website page... When I open the FLA file, there are aboslutely no layers for me to work with. I found an .as file that contained the page content and so I added the needed content there. But this is where I run into a problem. I'm fairly new to flash so perhaps this is common. After adding the additional content, the content now extends vertically and beyond the page borders. In doing research, I discovered that the solution is to change the TextField to "dynamic" and add a UIScrollbar during the build. I've learned to do this but the problem remains that I don't have any layers to modify for this particular website. Can someone explain why or how I can find the layers for this file? I am using Flash CS3... and unsure what version the original designer was using. I guess another option is to add a UIScrollbar to the website by modifying the .as file directly. Can this be done? Please help!

    It appears that the only items in the library are movie clips and a couple bitmaps. Here is a screenshot of my FLA file when opened in Adobe Flash: http://www.flashvideopro.net/images/flash_screenshot.jpg. Any ideas from what you see? I'm fairly new to Flash, but I have never before opened up an existing flash file for a flash website without seeing the layers for the site. Apparantly there are different ways to create flash content? Could it be that the textlayer I am looking for is hidden in a movie clip? And if that's the case would this be editable? I menitoned in my original post that I can actually edit the page in the main.as page as you see in this image. But I have no clue how to add a UIScrollbar without having the textlayer in front of me. The FLA file I am trying to edit is for global and trendy links (dot) com.

  • How do you structure a full flash website without the timeline?

    Hello there. I was wondering how to build and structure a full flash website using the OOP approach. I have an idea of how to structure an application using the MVC design pattern, but I cannot put things together in order to structure a whole website.

    I'm nowhere near an expert on this topic, and I suspect that the overall purpose of your site would help guide the best approach to designing and developing it without the timeline.  I've done a lot of this with Flash for a limited purpose - creating a client clip that has only one frame, but responds to user events with dynamic behavior.  My suggestion would be to take a look at some of the books that cover this topic to get a better idea of exactly how you'd like to deal with this project.
    Two books are in my library that cover this topic - ActionScript 3.0 Design Patterns by Sanders & Cumaranatunge, published by O'Reilly & Associates, check it out at http://www.amazon.com/ActionScript-3-0-Design-Patterns-Programming/dp/0596528469/ref=sr_1_ 1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1254149170&sr=8-1   as well as Advanced ActionScript 3 with Design Patterns by Lott and Patterson which can be found at http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-ActionScript-3-Design-Patterns/dp/0321426568/ref=sr_1_3?ie= UTF8&s=books&qid=1254149170&sr=8-3
    Both books have a chapter on implementing an MVC design pattern with ActionScript and provide some basic examples you can build on.  Sorry to be so meager in responding, I hope this might help a bit.  Good luck!
