    If I understand your question, I think you're trying to embed a flash to your website right? You should embed the code. It would be something like this

    You can see the Flash movie, but it's a link? Disable the Actionscript button in Flash.

    And don't use the <embed> tag if you can avoid it, it is NOT valid html, just something invented by mozilla.

    Is this a Flash file made by someone else? They then have access to the .fla version of the Flash file. That's the one where the button is. There is probably an invisible clickie button sitting on top of the other animation layers in Flash. Just delete the layer.

    For adding Flash to html without <embed>:

    <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
    data="c.swf?path=movie.swf" <-- here put the name of the Flash movie
    width="400" height="300"> <--here put the correct width and height
    <param name="movie"
    value="c.swf?path=movie.swf" /> <--again, where it says movie add the name
    </object>

    If this is small Flash movie, this will work. If it's HUGE like a big Flash site, then there is a problem with IE-- IE wants to load the whole movie before playing it. If this is a problem you put the big flash movie in a little one with only one layer and Actionscript in the first frame:

    _root.loadMovie("nameofmovie.swf",0);

    You are probably experiencing the security measures taken by IE with the Flash 9 player "Click here to activete this control"

    You need to implement a javascript workaround to eliminate this.
