Flash V FrontPage

[photon]

Frontpage is rubbish.
But more and more websites are being designed by Frontpage.

My question is:
How do u put a Macromedia Flash animation in Frontpage?

Thanks

I used to use FP a loooooong time ago so I'm not sure if this is a hundred percent accurate but you should be able to "import objects" (or something like that); and that includes the ability to embed .swf files.

Here is a simple code you can use to add it in,

<object width="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="yourflashfilm.swf">
<embed src="yourflashfilm.swf" width="550" height="400">
</embed></object>

I use frontapage...I think frontpage is not as good as Dreamweaver but IT IS NOT rubbish....

Anyway, you can insert Flash in FP(2002, v 10.xx I think.) in a number of ways...you can type a code in code view or just simply go to INSERT>WEB COMPONENT...> and in the "component type" menu choose "advanced controls" and you'll see a list in the right window choose "plug in" and click finish then you'll go to a window where you have to browse for your swf file and set its size..etc......as i have said there are lots of ways...but I use this series of steps...works for me I hope it does for you...have a nice time here!

lol i gave up on FP

but i think the best way to insert flash is by hand coding it. like C&P the code above and stuff. more control over the params and stuff.

Thanks for your help.

I finally was able to insert a Flash animation file.

But it wasn’t simple, who ever wrote Frontpage must have had a serious drug problem.

“Drag and drop” was invented about 20 years ago, and this rubbish (FP) is very clumsy.

i agree, but fp is easier to use for n00bs, i think dreamweaver is better.,
