is the question how to upload a flash and video files, or put them on a webpage?

to insirt a flash file to a webpage try this code

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" width="33" height="33">
<param name="movie" value="YOUflashFILEhere.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">

<embed src="YOURflashFILEhero.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="THEWIDTH" height="THEHEIGHT" ></embed>
</object>

to upload it, upload it exactly how you would your normal html pages.
i dont know anything about pagewizard though, so i cant tell you how to do it within there

Unfortunately the above method invalidates the page. For anyone interested in a standards compliant method I suggest you have a read of this... http://www.alistapart.com/articles/flashsatay/

Of what that page said, if your using XHTML don't use the defeault way of doing it.

There seems to be no point of doing it his way otherwise.

i just use dreamweaver and click the insert flash button... the code dreamweaver put out is the one posted above...

the code on top works fine on IE and FireFox... so what's invalidates? not standard? but dreamweaver is a standard program for webmaster. the codes produce by dreamweaver are today's standard...
it works fine for me on all browser so what's wrong with it? why not use it?

Just because it works does not mean it is Standards Compliant, especially as you move onto XHTML. While to a lot of people being standards compliant means nothing, it is becoming a common trend to follow them. Dreamweaver is standards compliant for the most part, however it's built-in validator is not as strict as the one at the W3C (http://validator.w3.org/).
