How do I put my movie on the web?

Hello. I just finished my flash cartoon and am curious what format I need to have my movie in to put it on the web. My friend is going to put it online for me for viewing. I was curious if I could use the html file? Or do I have to use the .swf? Problem with the .swf is I drew outside of the stage in scenes, and if I maximize the swf publish preview window the viewer can see that. We also did a test with this .swf and it is huge online and download time is ridiculous, not to mention the viewer can see outside the stage. I want it viewed online the exact size as the publish preview window. How do I go about this?

Is there anything additional I need to do to have my movie available to just plug into explorer or dreamweaver for internet viewing? For example, editing the document, debugging, etc. Right now my movies are in .swf format and the default html format. Thank you.

sounds like you want the default html to me…
this will give you just the stage area as viewable and in its original sze… generally download time wont change im afraid! :wink:
only solutions are to break it up into several swfs (not great if its a cartoon) and/or put a preloader on it… if your cartoon has buttons on it so they navigate wat to see next then u mite get away with separate swfs… ifu think im crazy bout this buttons in a cartoon, see www.joecartoon.com)
