HTML Flash Player Tutorial
Flash videos are videos that are created using Adobe Flash software. One of the advantages to embedding a Flash video into your Web page's HTML is that Flash is a more universally accepted video file format than WMV. This means that those viewing the Flash video are less likely to have problems with the video crashing their browser. Embedding a Flash video into HTML is fairly simple and requires only a basic level of HTML expertise.
