Integrate Flash banner in Flash website?

Question

I'm building a portfolio website for my design work. The whole website is Flash based.
I have a Flash banner that I would like to add to the website but I can't seem to place it on stage.
Is there a way to stream the banner? If I do that, how do I place it's location on stage?
Thanks!

Assuming that you are making the Flash website, just use a loader to load the .swf file and add it to the stage, like you would an image:
pseudo code (meaning that im just typing from memory, so it should work but might have an error)
var myLoader = new Loader();
var myBannerUrl = ("bannerFolder/banner.swf"); //full url OR path relative to the file loading it.
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, addMyBannerToStage);
//to be thorough, an error listener and posibly a progress listener would be useful
myLoader.load(new URLRequest(myBannerUrl));
function addMyBannerToStage(event:Event):void{
     myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, addMyBannerToStage);
     var myBanner = myLoader.content as MovieClip; //if you want to access its functions/vars etc like any movieclip
     myBanner.x = 0; // x position
     myBanner.y = 0; // y position
    addChild(myBanner);
