Copy and Paste To Existing Web Page

    Flash animation runs on your web page using two files -- an animation file with .swf file extension created in KoolMoves (File > Export Movie > Save as Flash Movie) and your web page which references through Javascript the .swf file. KoolMoves creates the Javascript for you in this screen. This is analogous to a .gif file and HTML code which references the .gif file.

This approach is not appropriate for users of some web page editing software like Front Page unless you are experienced at directly editing HTML code. Use the other method which replaces an existing image with the animation.

    1) Export your animation as a Flash movie using File > Export Movie > Save As Flash Movie. You will need to close this window to perform this task.

    2) Select the swf file on your local disk. Press the open file icon.

    3) Copy and paste code from the screen window to your web page. It is safest to use NotePad. It should not be added within a HTML paragraph starting with <P> or within a block of text. It is best to add the code to the cell of a table.

    4) Ftp the .swf and .htm/.html files to your web server. The .swf file is binary and the name should be spelled exactly as you have it on your local disk. Avoid spaces in the name because spaces are a problem for Netscape.

Definition of Terms

    Ftp is shorthand for file tranfer protocol which is the method used to transfer files from your computer to internet file servers. There are many programs which are easy to use some of which are free which will perform this transfer. If you don't currently have a program to ftp files, there are many free ones to choose from at www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/network/fwftp.html.
