You can place a Flash movie within a table.

This is "preloading", not HTML. Just so you know what to hunt for (see below).

Hi LSY, and Welcome!


Here's a good standard procedure for starting to hunt up learning materials *for

lotsa different concerns*, not just HTML:


(1) Check the index of the Flash manual and any other Flash books you may have


    E.g., Flash manual:

    

          HTML

             publish settings 230

             tag reference 251

             templates 247

             

    Doing this first is good because it often gets you thinking and asking

    questions, due to info that's commonly too brief. :-)

    

(2) Go to http://www.macromedia.com/support/search/ (their technotes-search

page), enter your keyword(s), select Flash product support center, don't check

General, and search. I found 11 technotes regarding HTML. Depending upon what

you're searching for, you may also want search with their "generic" (site-wide)

search engine http://www.macromedia.com/help/ for "Flash and HTML" -- 100's of

hits.


(3) http://www.flashcentral.com/tech/index.htm is a great list of resources for

various topics ... you'll find HTML there.


(4) http://www.FlashCentral.com/Tech/Resources/Flash.htm is a great list of

sites offering tutorials, etc.


Happy exploring!
