SV: [thelist] FLASH-lets?

Palyne,

I think you have slightly the wrong end of the stick regarding how Flash works. Flash is embedded in a page just like any other sort of multimedia element. You can certainly use it in the way you have described. I wonder if the confusion possible came in regarding Macromedia's tools for Flash enabling a webpage, that will handily write the code you need for embedding the Flash into your page (Aftershock is the name of this tool).

There's a lot of information about embedding Flash here:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/
- click through to "Publishing and exporting".

Hope this helps
