Author Embedding Flash Files on a Blog

Hi everyone. I'm looking to embed flash files (swf & flv) on a Movable Type
blog, but I can't seem to figure it out. I do this all the time with
Dreamweaver, but never tried until today to embed Flash stuff into blog
entries. I know I'm missing something obvious here, but I don't know what. Any
help would be [i]greatly[/i] appreciated - thanks.

I do that sometimes using Typepad and you can probably use the same code
you use to embed a flash movie in DW.

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie"
value="http://www.youtube.com/v/J5A0b5SwhoY" />
<embed width="425" height="350"
src="http://www.youtube.com/v/J5A0b5SwhoY"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object>

and this is the post:

Hey guys, thanks a lot to both of you for replying. Between your two replies, I
figured it out. I went back into Dreamweaver to get the embed code, and simply
inserted the URL before the .swf file name. Voila!

Thanks again!
