as well as into Microsoft Office Word and html

Second, you right click on the page where the chosen animation is contained, and go to the View Page Source property.
Exampled on www.aluminium.matter.org.uk
How to find and download the resource you want
How to Find
This is the name of the animation file, which you have chosen and
the next step is to find it in the alumatter depository among other .swf files
Going through the code inside of the source you will find the name of the file (Shockwave® file) with .swf extension
How to Download
Repository results
Please, note that aluMatterLibrary.zip will be added to your basket automatically, and it has to be placed in the same folder as the .swf file. The archive contains library components and text file with phrases, which are mandatory for the original .swf to be functioning properly. When unpacked the archive will create a folder structure, which is essential to preserve:
..\media\flash\flash_phrases.txt
How to Use
Text Hyperlink

Embedding Flash Movies into MS Office Documents
Standalone Flash movies can be imported into Office documents using the Control Toolbox, however some technical issues presented themselves, primarily arising when the set parameters could not be preserved after the file is saved.
Please, follow the guidance on official Microsoft sites:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291875
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/powerpoint/HA010348071033.aspx
All above stated applies to other Microsoft Office applications, such as Microsoft Office Word, Microsoft Office Excel etc.
You can write a simple script in any text editor or use standard syntax in f.e.Macromedia Dreamweaver to embed .swf you want into html file:
<html><head><title>Embed your .swf</title></head><body><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="550" height="300"> <param name="movie" value="swf/stap-bridge2.swf"> <param name="quality" value="high"> <param name="base" value="swf/"> <embed src="swf/stap-bridge2.swf" base="swf/" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="550" height="300"></object></body></html>
Embedding Flash Movies into html files
It is important to use base property in order to accommodate for the possibility to use relative path to the original .swf file. So .swf files don’t have to be in the same directory as the files that call them.
So then you open now the .htm file (flashAluMatter.htm in this instance) created in the browser, you will see the animation playing.
