How to Add Flash Video to HTML
Flash Videos are an easy way for you to spice up any webpage and make websites more interactive. In order to view a Flash Video, a user must install the Adobe Flash Player plug-in, which is available for download from Adobe. This plug-in allows you to embed the video file into an HTML document, enabling users to watch your Flash media directly from their browser.
