I have been using flashmx now for several months.  
Designing sites and up loading them to the net.  
However, i have never used the publish facility. I copy the swf’s into frontpage and upload from there and had no problems.  
However, the more forums and links i read tell me i should publish the html file along with the swf’s.  
Can someone please tell me why?
