How use flash.

Hello,

A friend of mine has just finished creating our website and he has done it
in flash (.swf).
I am trying to get my site started in my own IIS on a Windows 2000 Server.
Can I add a "file.swf" instead of an "index.htm" in the "Documents" tab of
the default web-site or how does it work ?
Running the file directly from within an Internet Explorer works fine but I
am not sure how to get it to work with IIS.

Regards

No, you need to embed the flash file into an HTML file. Do a search on
"embed flash in html" and you'll see the code you need to add to your
index.htm file in order to contain the SWF file.

It would take like 30 seconds for you to try this and find out if it
works in your setup.

Normally your default.htm file loads the Flash SWF file, check the
Flash documentation for details on this.

Hello,

It would be better if you embedded the flash file. Because clients that
have no idea what to do with the file (ie, Macromedia Flash is not
installed) will try to download the file.

You are aware of that flash files are not indexed by search sites like
google? So you will possible loose customers that is using a search engine
to find you.
