Hello HTML gurus!
I can insert images with the <img...> tag. But how do you insert a flash movie (swf) in a html document?
Thank you

Inserting a flash movie on a web page is a little more tricky because there isn't a specific html tag for flash content. You need to specify the flash object with the <object> tag. See this excellent site (http://www.w3schools.com/flash/flash_inhtml.asp) for details.

fuccaro, what are you using to create your Flash movies ?

At my previous job it was a computer with Macromedia 4 installed and I planed to learn to use it. I ended up using a JavaScript and I created a simple "animation". You can see it HERE (http://www.fuccaro.netfirms.com/work.htm) if you scroll down to the blue plug and hold the mouse over the image (it is the image out of the table, right over the bearings).
Now I don’t have access to any Macromedia program but that was my start in learning JavaScript. Well, sometimes things turn unexpectedly. Sometimes this is good, sometimes it is bad and sometime it is … only different.

Miklos, I found a freeware on the web call Camstudio ~ it's really good for making flash movies.
if you do a search for it, try and find version 2.0 and not 2.1 or later !

Version 2 has some great features that they took out in later versions and you also have to register for later versions ~ but Macromedia bought the company over and discontinued the program !!! so you can't register ~ so it only runs for a few weeks. However, version 2.0 is still available from some sites.

Thank you, I will "google" it right now!

****** found it HERE (http://download.freenet.de/download.php?file_id=5218&download=camstudio). Download in progress... Thank you again! *****

After a short test I can say: it works just perfect.
I burned on a CD pieces of my activity -something I can send in adition with my CV. Some of the works are AVI files and on some computers I had problems with missing codecs. I converted the files to WMV format. Now I will insert the SWF version too. :D :D :D

no problem Miklos, glad to have helped.

I found it a very helpful little tool ~ great freeware ! what a shame Macromedia destroyed it

Probable others too downloaded the Camstudio.
I recorded my screen activity and I saved on my desctop as TEST. It worked. I tested again the program and I saved also as TEST on my decctop. The program overwrites older files without warning message!
