I'm trying to add a .swf file to a webpage. I've never done it before and was just trying to figure out how to do it. Can I use Macromedia Flash to make a .swf file? If not, is there another program I should use? Is there anything special I need to use for html beside <embed>? I tried making a file but it wont load on my webpage. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes you can use Flash to make an swf. You will want to publish or export the movie. To put flash on a page you can use.
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="yourflash.swf" width="" height="">
<param name="movie" value="yourflash.swf">
</object>
Adjust the width and height as necessary.

As do I but the Object code for flash that DW puts in is invalid so I created a snippet that uses the above code I posted when ever I need to add in flash.

Yes that is Macromedia Flash's main purpose. To create .swf files. Once you make your file, use the publish or export commands from the file menu. If you are referring to Macromedia Flash Player then no you can't because Flash player is just that it plays .swf and other types of flash files.

:p if u think u are dumb with <object > code , just use the PUBLISH option under file menu .. there publish as " HTML + SWF " ( think u can find under publish options ) ... if u publish as HTML and SWF .. u get the embedded code in the html file ... so u dun need to pull yer heads fer dat :P .. u can adjust al the parameters ... if u got some soft like dreamweaver :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
