Flash elements are installed through the Extension Manager. Dreamweaver adds Flash elements to documents in the same manner as the objects that are available on the Insert bar or the Insert menu (for details about working with Dreamweaver objects, see "Insert Bar Objects" in Extending Dreamweaver). By clicking on objects on the Insert bar or selecting menu options from the Insert menu, users can add strings of code to documents. Flash elements are available to users through the Insert bar or the Insert menu (meaning you can add a valid Flash element file that is already installed in the Configuration/Objects/FlashElements folder or one of its subfolders to the Insert bar or Insert menu). Extension developers can use the JavaScript function dom.insertFlashElement() in the object definition file to add available Flash elements to a document. When the user selects the Flash element object, Dreamweaver unpacks the SWC file, which contains Flash content (SWF file) and a file that details the parameters the user can edit. Dreamweaver then inserts the SWF file into the user's document.
