Inserting a Flash Animation in FrontPage

[Sumara]

Hi,

I'm new and this has probably already been answered but in searching the help files and previous posts, I still haven't found my answer. My question is: I have exported my flash animation into a folder I have set up for my website like it says in the help file. But then it says to click on "View HTML link" to get the code but I can't find the link to do that. I feel like an idiot but could someone please tell me where the link is?

Thanks.
Sumara

Never mind, I found it. I spent the last half hour looking for it but as usual as soon as I say something, I find it.

However, it doesn't show up in the preview or any other view for that matter. I have changed the name to the correct file name in the html code and I exported it to the correct file. Any suggestions?

The code you should be inserting should be something that looks like this;

<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
 codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0"
 ID=vss WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=425>
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="74880.swf">
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
<PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF> 
<EMBED src="74880.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF  WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=425 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" 
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></EMBED>
</OBJECT>

You just need to change the width and height values to reflect the size of your flash object and replace the name of the file.
