I have created a website Flash Banner using an online service. I have downloaded the .swf file into my VSD website folder, and using ftp uploaded the same file to my server. How can I insert this file into my website? The file I downloaded into my VSD folder is called: Current-Conditions.swf. I uploaded the idential file into my remote host as well. What tool is used to make this appear in the space provided on my page currently being built?

Thanks,
Swede

Scott, Thanks for the quick reply. Followed the instructions perfectly. When I do the Preview of the web page, where the banner goes all I get is the html but no banner. I know the banner is uploaded to my server because when I enter the html for the banner in any brower it appears, although full screen. Please take a look. This is the html for the banner:

I have done other html links within my website to remote sources, but something is not right with this. I am using version Version 6 of VDS.

Regards,
Swede

Scott, I figured it out. I was just trying to put the URL for the uploaded .swf file in the html tool. Of course it didn't work. Instead I embeded the .swf file as follows:

<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe width="948" height="100" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://www.timothyblomquist.com/Current-Conditions.swf "></iframe></div>

I had this code saved in my stash of codes for embeding files and figured out this is a way to get the .swf file where I wanted it. You see it worked. Have you guys ever thought of creating a guide of just .html codes for doing lots of different things for a website?

It's tough being a Greenhorn with this stuff, but once you figure it out, it's a feeling of accomplishment.

Great service after the sale. I really enjoying using your software. I just wish I was smarter than the product.
