*First off, let me say I really know nothing about writing code. With that in mind...

I created a great flash banner using Nasser FX and I would like to insert it on the homepage of my Tripod website. After creating the banner, two files were created: "dots.swf" and "dots.txt" The txt file contains what appears to be code and the swf file is the actual banner I created.
I have uploaded both files to the root directory of my site and Tripod contains a nice "add your own HTML tool," but I can't get everything to come together.

If someone would be willing to personally help ne I would be glad to send you the files. In case it helps, the text in the "dots.txt" file is as follows"

&label600=Matrix&constructor=[type Function]&__proto__=[object Object]&globalsound=[object Object]&freeze=false&url=&urljumpto=&loo… for NF2&line2=Sunday, May 2, 2010&line3=2-6 pm&line4=Oakhurst Country Club&line5=Solve the NF Puzzle&x1=10&x2=10&x3=10&x4=10&x5=10&y1=… Function]&__proto__=[object Object]&globalsound=[object Object]&freeze=false&url=&urljumpto=&loo… for NF2&line2=Sunday, May 2, 2010&line3=2-6 pm&line4=Oakhurst Country Club&line5=Solve the NF Puzzle!&x1=10&x2=10&x3=10&x4=10&x5=10&y1…

Exactly what would I type in the HTML field to make the banner appear? So far everything I try brings this up as a white box. I'm about to give up but I REALLY do not want to. Thanks for your help.

This comes directly from the Tripod website:

Save the movie as a FLA file. To put it on your Web site for the world to see, you'll need to export it (choose "Export" from the File menu) as an SWF file. Upload the SWF file to your site. You can embed it in an HTML page using the EMBED and OBJECT tags. (IE and Netscape disagree about how embedded objects should be handled, so we compromise by giving each browser the tag it likes.) The code will look something like this:

<OBJECT WIDTH="550" HEIGHT="400">
<PARAM NAME="MOVIE" VALUE="facemovie.swf">
<EMBED SRC="facemovie.swf" WIDTH="550" HEIGHT="400">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
