Hello,

You can not use an swf file as an IMG tag as far as I know, but I may be wrong, if I am someone correct me.

I have always used .swf files with the OBJECT tag like this:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="XXX" height="XXX" id="some-name" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="XXX.swf" />
<param name="loop" value="false" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="XXX.swf" loop="false" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="XXX" height="XXX" name="some-name" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

Things in blue are things you should edit to match your file

This is how I have always used .swf files in html, if anyone knows a better way, please post for both our sakes :wave:

you must upload the file .swf on FTP programs or online(free) and transfer it to your website, then replace the <code="yourswfname.swf> with the url page to the swf u uploaded to your site. If you don't get it i can show u in video or help u out, i do .swf many times.
