After creating Flash movie you choose File > Save As from the top menu to save your movie. Save the file as the "Somefilename.fla". 

To embed the Flash movie you just made into an HTML page, you should go back to your Flash program and do the following step:

Step 1
Choose File > Open.Open a Flash movie you have already created.

Step 2
Choose File > Export Movie.

Step 3
Name the file "somefilename.swf". Then choose the location where the file is to be stored (in your Web folder). Then click OK.

Step 4
Open an HTML page where you want to insert your Flash movie. Insert following code:

Note: This is the minimum code you need to embed a Flash movie in the browser. A broken icon will appear on the Web page if the user does not have the Flash plug-in that is not installed.

Note:In the above code there is both an <embed> tag and an <object> tag. This is because the <object> tag is recognized by Internet Explorer, and Netscape recognize the <embed> tag and ignores the <object> tag.

Step 5
Type in the address of the HTML file in your browser and look at your first Flash movie and enjoy.

The code above is the absolute minimum code to embed Flash movies in the HTML pages. It is not recommended that to use the minimum code. There should be few more attributes added:

• classid is an attribute to the <object> tag. It tells the Internet Explorer to load the ActiveX plug-in if it is not installed
• The pluginspage is an attribute to the <embed> tag. It display a link to the Shockwave download page if Netscape does not have it 

The Flash program can add these attribute for you:

Step 1
Choose File > Publish. Flash will now create the <object>, <param>, and <embed> tag for you. It will also create the classid and pluginspage attribute.

Step 2
Open the HTML document that Flash created, view the HTML source and copy the code into your HTML page where you want your Flash movie to de displayed.

Step 3
Be sure that you have the "somefilename.swf" in your Web folder only.

Step 4
Type the address of the HTML file in your browser and look at your first Flash movie.
