Using Macromedia Flash files on your Website
Flash™, from Macromedia™, is a popular application for creating vector-based graphics and animations with
small file sizes for use on the internet.
Flash 'movies' end with the extension .swf. To add a Flash movie to your site, upload the .swf file to the Web
server in binary mode. You can place it in your /www directory or in a subdirectory you created.
In order for visitors to your site to be able to view a Flash movie, the Macromedia Flash Player must be installed on
their computer. Most browsers, however, come installed with Macromedia Flash Player. The Flash Player can be
downloaded at no cost from the Macromedia Flash Download
Center.
There are a number of ways you can link to your Flash movies in your Web site. For example, you can use a standard
link or provide a button or image that launches the movie. You can also set the Flash movie to open in a new
browser window.
For detailed information about incorporating Flash files into your Web site, consult the Flash documentation or
visit Macromedia's support center at http://www.macromedia.com/support/.
