I need to know what is the roper syntax that needs to be included in my HTML file so that my flash file will work within the HTML.. This is what I have:

<object width="550" height="400">

<param name="movie" value="somefilename.swf">

<embed src"somefilename.swf" width="550" height="400">

</embed>

</object>

Also exactly where does it go?

It's easier if you use the publish settings in flash. It will output an html file for you. Or if you use dreamweaver, you can choose import media and then choose flash. Dreamweaver will put in the correct code you need.
