• I don't really know, but you can always right click and view the page source to see how they did it. I did it on that site, and it looks complicated, so perhaps find another, simpler site that has flash and view their source.
• Perhaps you should look to Xanga? This is regarding flash banners, but I think it applies to what you are trying to do.
• I already checked the FAQ, but that pertains to headers, not the body itself. I also sent an email, but I thought monkeys might be more resourceful. I'll try to find another person's site and check out their source code, and "borrow".
• When I need to embed Flash, I always use a javascript to do it. It is just so much cleaner. Here's a good one: http://blog.deconcept.com/2004/10/14/web-standards-compliant-javascript-flash-detect-and-embed/ Assuming you are allowed Javascript, it should be a nobrainer to use a script for your embedding.
• thanks, invoke. the code looks mighty scary, but I think Xanga limits the use of javascript. how about some simple html script for embedding flash, is it possible?
• From the Xanga website: Xangans do the coolest things with Javascript Codes. And we definitely want to encourage Javascript hacking on Xanga! It's a great way for us to get a sense for what features people want... and eventually, build those features into Xanga itself. So, I doubt they limit the use of javascript. I posted the "header" link to Xanga because, while not referring specifically to the body, it does give helpful insight that will most likely be relevant to the body as well. Good luck!

• OK, step by step for an embedding script: 1) get a good opensourced script. Here's one: http://www.laszlosystems.com/lps/includes/embed.js 2) load the on your page. Either put the literal text of the whole thing script tags: <script> copied text here /<script> or, if Xanga will let you, just upload the js file and then refer to it like so: <script src="embed.js"/> 3) embed your flash file using the javascript, like so: <script>lzEmbed({url: 'your_flipbook_file.swf', bgcolor: '#ffffff', width: '800', height: '600'}); </script>
