Embed the flash file
There are many ways embed the Flash file into your HTML code. I currently use the following code based on this recommendation from Adobe.
You must change the code in yellow. The code in green is optional.
<object data="flash_file_location/immp3Color.swf" width="width in pixels - default is 130" height="height in pixels - default is 27" style="vertical-align: bottom;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
<param name="type" value="application/x-shockwave-flash" />
<param name="FlashVars" value="TheSound=mp3_file_location/mp3_file_name.mp3" />
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="flash_file_location/immp3Color.swf" />
<param name="loop" value="true/false - set to loop the sound" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#1d1917" />
<a href="mp3_file_location/mp3_file_name.mp3">mp3_file_name.mp3</a>
</object>
Upload the immp3Color.swf, along with you new webpage and your .mp3 files to your server. The mp3 files can be in any path as long as they match what is defined in the HMTL code. For example "/audio/demos"
The flash "immp3Color.swf" can be in any path as long as you specify the path in the webpage when you embed the flash object.
