Edit the attributes of the tags for the movie.
Change the HEIGHT and WIDTH parameters to match the height and width of the movie dimensions or use percentage values, if desired.
Change "moviename.swf" where it appears in the OBJECT and EMBED tags to the name of movie to be played.
Why use these all these HTML tags? What do they do?
The OBJECT tag is for Internet Explorer 3.0 or later on Windows 9x/2000/NT/ME/XP platforms or any browser that supports the use of the Flash ActiveX control. The "classid" must appear exactly as it does in this example. The "codebase" attribute must also appear exactly as it does in this example; it tells the browser where to find Flash Player for automatic download. Internet Explorer 3.0 or later on Windows 9x/2000/NT/ME/XP will prompt the user with a dialog asking if they would like to auto-install the Flash Player if it's not already installed. This process can occur without the user having to restart the browser.
The EMBED tag is for Netscape Navigator 2.0 or later, or browsers that support the use of the Netscape-compatible plugin version of Flash Player. The "pluginspage" attribute tells the browser where to direct the user to find Flash Player for download if the Player is not already installed. The user would then need to download and run the installer and restart their browser.
To ensure that the most browsers will play your Flash Player movies, you should place the EMBED tag nested within the OBJECT tag as shown in the above example. ActiveX-enabled browsers will "ignore" the EMBED tag inside the OBJECT tag. Netscape and Microsoft browsers using the Flash Plugin will not recognize the OBJECT tag and will read only the EMBED tag.
Note: Some visual HTML editors such as Dreamweaver support the insertion of ActiveX objects or Netscape plugin content. Except when using Dreamweaver, it may be necessary to interpret the HTML code above to determine what to enter and where into your editor's dialog box or configuration prompts. You may also have to edit the HTML source code directly to achieve the nested OBJECT/EMBED tag structure described above. Although some editors allow you to preview the content after you've placed it, test your pages in Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator to see them as your users will when they are downloaded. Flash 4, Flash 5, and Flash MX users can easily obtain the correct code by using Flash's Publish feature, and opening this Flash-created HTML page in an HTML editor.
This code is the minimum required HTML to provide Flash Player content in your web pages. There are other attributes that you can use in your OBJECT and EMBED tags to help control your movie. To learn more about these review Flash OBJECT and EMBED tag attributes (TechNote 12701).
