Embedding Flash File

I am no expert, as it took me hours of figuring this out, but this is what worked for me in uploading and embedding my Lab into a Blogger post.

1.  Go to https://sites.google.com/site/sites/  and click the create page on the left sidebar.  Name it whatever you want, and click create.

2.  After it is created, the page should open and be viewable.  At the top of the page, click "Create Page."

3.  Here is where you will create the page that will house your .swf files.  Name it whatever you want (I named mine SWF), and then click the bubble next to "Put Page under Home."  Then click "create."

4.  On this new page, you can add files.  Click "add files" under the textbox, and add your flash file.

5.  After it has uploaded, click the link for your file.  It should open it into a browser window.  The link in the browser will be the one you use for the embedding. 

6.  Now, start a post for your lab on your blog.  Make sure you're entering the embed text in the HTML  editor, which is next to "Compose"

7.  Take the code below, and paste it into your blog post.  Change the link in red below to the link you got from your Google Sites link in Step 5.  Then change the dimensions below in purple to fit your personal file.  I sure hope this works for other people!
