Inserting Flash into your WebPage
In FrontPage or DreamWeaver

Adding a custom-made Flash animation  to Frontpage is a snap

By following these simple steps, you will be up and running in no time at all and impressing all of your visitors with your talents!

First create your Flash animations or buttons .

1. Open FrontPage

2. Select the HTML page into which you want to insert the animation, or start from scratch and open a new page

3. Save the HTML  and the .SWF files to your website directory in a folder such as FLASH

4. Click on the position where you want to insert the animation in your page

5. Go to Insert - Advanced - and select Plug-in.
In FrontPage 2002 you should select: Web Component - Advanced Controls - Plug-in

6. Now the Plug-In Properties window opens up. Here you should select your created animation. To do so click on the browse button
Make sure that you select the .SWF file not the 2 others (.FLA or .HTML)

7. Now the Select file menu pops up. Select your web animation file from the list, and click on OK

8. You will be brought back to the Plug-in Properties menu. Here you can edit the properties of your flash animation. In general you can use the default size

9. Finally save and preview your file. It's important that you save the file first before you click on preview, otherwise you will see nothing.

10. There you have it.

Since Flash and DreamWeaver are Macromedia products its easier to insert Flash into DreamWeaver 

1) choose the insertion position

2)  insert > Media > Flash pick your .swf file and thats it
(remember to have your .html file there as well

IF you want to convert an FLA file to an animated GIF then ... go
FILE  > Export Movie

remember you need to save your Flash file as .fla into a file called FLASH (for example)  then
publish the movie to the same folder (FLASH) and THEN insert the .SWF file into your web page.
