Displaying swf files

I read the archives on this subject but still have some questions. I work in
support stafffor Univ. of Delaware and inherited responsibility to maintain
current Web site without having any real training in that area so I am in
OTJT. We have Windows 2003 Server and FP 2003. The sub Website in question
is: http://www.rec.udel.edu/poultryextension/new_page_3.htm

I have had our IT dept in main campus convert 6 PowerPoints to swf files.
On my PC XP (not server) where I have Flash Player, Shockwave and Adobe CS3,
I was not able to view the final swf files. They came to me with that generic
program icon. Only in Bridge could I view them. Now, on our server, with FP
2003 I want to provide visitors with the capability to easilty view these
six presentations. There is no Adobe software other than reader installed on
the Server.

Right now, you will see the six presentations as PowerPoints but many
folks cannot view these properly which is why we requested flash swf files in
the first place.

Now that I have the swf - what do I need to do with them? Will viewers need
to have flash plyer or shockwave player to view? Is there a way to download
the required player automatically or will I need to provide the install link
separately.
Why could I not see them on my own computer. We are at a remote campus
location, 2 hrs away from main campus and don't have instant support from our
IT.

What is the file extension of the files that they gave you? Can you post a
link to one (or more) of them?

> Now that I have the swf - what do I need to do with them?


In EW, just use INSERT | Media > Flash Movie. That should be all you need
to do.

They are all .swf files. I haven't posted to the Web but I will do so shortly
and send you a link. What is EW?

Or use the SwfObject script (to get around the activeX prompt issue)
See http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/
