Editing HTML help

I’m relatively new to Flash and need help. I designed my friends site entirely in Flash, but now want to add things like meta tags. I’ve done extensive searching and found the best (or only) way to do this is to open my index.html page in dreamweaver or textedit and add them there. Sounds easy enough but when I open my html page to look at the code I get this error:

// Provide alternate content for browsers that do not support scripting // or for those that have scripting disabled. Alternate HTML content should be placed here. This content requires the Adobe Flash Player. Get Flash

I have Flash Player installed. Every book and forum says to just open this file and my html code should be there. Anyone have any ideas? Perhaps I’m my publish settings are wrong?
