Hello,
I am a complete beginner with Flash and have just created a simple movie which I want to insert into a layer into dreamweaver. I have published the movie and exported it but when I try and insert it into Dreamweaver it doesn’t work. I know this is probably a very stupid question - but if anyone can help I would be most grateful.
Many thanks

If you choose the File-\>Publish option in Flash, it will generate a html page with the correct object/embed/codebase/etc. tags and you can then edit this page in dreamweaver.
Alternatively in Dreamweaver, if you choose the Insert-\>Media-\>Flash (or click the flash icon on the common actions palatte) you can manually insert your flash file. Again Dreamweaver will write the necessary object/embed/codebase/etc. tags for you
