An "HTML Code" dialog will appear. Please copy the HTML code generated by the Aleo software application and paste the code here. The HTML code can be found in the software application after you have published the Flash SWF file.

You can also copy below HTML code and modify it on your own needs. Please make sure to change the texts in red color to your own value.

<param name="movie" value="flashbanner.swf" />

width="480"
height="125"

Click "Ok" in the "HTML code" dialog, then a blue box will display on the HTML page. Dragging the box to where you want the flash SWF to display, and adjusting the size of the box to make it bigger than the flash banner size. You can drag the corner point of the box to adjust its size.

Save the HTML file, then preview it with menu "File" -> "Preview in browser".

Now, you have inserted the Flash SWF file to your webpage, all you need to do now is to publish the website.

If somehow the flash banner does not display, please check:

You have saved the flash swf file to the same folder as the web page. If you have done that correctly, the flash swf file should appear in the "Site Contents" area and in the same folder as the html file.

Make sure the filename in the HTML code is same as that of your flash swf file.
