In your publish settings, make sure .html is also selected. Then when you publish it, it will generate the HTML code for you, and will be named the same as your swf file with an .html extension in the same directory where your flash is saved. Open it in a text editor to see the code it generates. Then copy and paste that into your web page where you want the banner to be.

Dang, it did not work. Maybe I did it wrong. when I published it, it became an HTML file. Then I did the whole, <IMG SCR="the flash file"> Is this correct?

No, that is not correct. Flash is not an image file, therefore you don't use the <img> tag. The basic code to insert flash would be:

Code: [ Select ]
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="680" height="430" id="mybanner" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="mybanner.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><embed src="mybanner.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="680" height="430" name="mybanner" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
  1. <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="680" height="430" id="mybanner" align="middle">
  2. <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
  3. <param name="movie" value="mybanner.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><embed src="mybanner.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="680" height="430" name="mybanner" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
  4. </object>

(where the two instances of mybanner.swf you would replace with the file name of your flash banner, and id=mybanner and name=mybanner should also be replaced with your file name (less the .swf) - note the height and width attributes should also be altered to match the dimensions of your banner).

That is the basic code. There are better ways to do that, but since you're just learning stick with that for the time being and it should work in most browsers.

That's just the basic code required. A better way to do it would look more like this:
