Author Creating a website in Flash--basic question

I am wondering if i can build my whole website in flash and import it in as an
swf file. Is this efficient or is it better to do whatever you can in html and
then import that which u can not do as an swf? If i can do the whole web page
in flash do i just need an embed swf file linking to the file from my original
html file?

You don't even need to do that. In the flash "file" "publish settings" menu, the defaults are swf and html. When you publish the file, it creates an html file that has the swf file already embedded. Although I made an "all flash" site, I have found it convenient to have one html page without flash as the index file that will then go on to load the flash-created html file. You can do some useful things like check which browser is being used, check the screen resolution, add tags, etc. You may want to navigate to a different version of your flash site depending on which browser it is, for example.
