HTML files that contain .swf files
If you have any experience creating HTML, the basic process of putting .swf files in a web page will be simple for you. If you have no HTML experience, it won’t hurt to learn a little HTML, but you really don’t have to. Remember when you “visit” a web page, you’re not really “going” anywhere. Rather, your browser software downloads a text file (with either an .htm or .html file extension). This HTML file contains not only the words you see on the web page, but additional instructions as well, including the font style and size.
In addition, the HTML file contains details about any of the pictures that are supposed to be seen on the web page—details such as the image file’s name and from where it should download so you can see it. Putting a Flash(.swf) file in a web page is almost as easy as putting a picture in a web page.
A few other details (in addition to the filename of the .swf) can be included, such as the background color, whether you want the movie to loop,
and other interesting settings that are unique to Flash. To make this process even easier, Flash includes a feature called Publish , which walks you through the steps of creating both the .swf file and the .html file. Every detail available can be specified in the Publish Settings dialog box. You can specify parameters for each file format that you intend to distribute by using the tabs that appear (only the tabs for the file types you specify appear).
