You cannot put raw Flash (.fla) files on your webpage.
Turn into a shockwave file (.swf) and insert it the same way.

-klykken
as klykken said, u insert shockwave file ( swf ) instead to play into the webpage.

choose insert -> media ->flash then browse the flash file.

in the properties down, u can find a field called source. in this field u can browse to the .fla file
and when clicking the edit it will open thr fla file automatically in flash to edit it, save it then u will find the swf file updated in the original html file.

cannot. when i saved it to a swf file. nothing appear when i click on the file. no image appear only a blank thing
Post the Source code of HTML page
i think u should install the latest flash plugin from macromedia wensite
From Flash, publish the page as HTML. Take the code generated from that, and use it on your other page. Or start with the Flash generated one and put the other pieces in place on that.

You need the proper codebase/clid code, otherwise the plugin doesn't always initialize. Also, you CANNOT view it in Dreamweaver. You have to either preview in browser or save it and open it using the browser directly.
