How to input flash into my website????

I use Dreamweaver MX for my sebsite. I just started playing around with Flash MX. I have created a small flash movie and want to put it into my webpage.

I went to (trying to go by memory so please forgive me if the path is wrong) insert/item/ flash I found the flash file and clicked insert. I uploaded the file to my webpage but it doesn't show up.

What am I doing wrong??
Maybe it's the file extension that is wrong. What should the file extension be? .swf??
Any help for a newbie would be very much appriciated.

Thanks in advance

Don't know how DW does it, but you can always export it, view source -> copy the whole embedding object - block of HTML code and paste into your site's code where ever you want it to appear. Just see to it that the .swf is relatively in the right folder.

Edit: Tried posting code, but it didnt work and it ****ed up the site, sorry lol
