Yes, so for example:

\<EMBED src=“main.swf” quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH=“730” HEIGHT=“600” NAME=“main” ALIGN=""  
TYPE=“application/x-shockwave-flash” PLUGINSPAGE=“[http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer](http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer)”\>\</EMBED\>

I just grabbed this off a file of mine so it probably has a lot of extra junk you don’t need. Notice it passes the background color and dimensions and such.

you can also copy the embedded code off of a published flash web page.

yes, main.swf was the name of my own file so you have to replace it with your own. 🙂

I thought you wanted to put the link to a swf inside an html page? If you just want to link to another html page then use \<a href\> right? :h:
