SharePoint 2010: How to Embed Flash Files into SharePoint Site Pages

Occasionally a site admin will want to embed some Flash files on some of the pages in their site.  In order to achieve this, these are the required steps:

1. Ensure that the flash file is uploaded to a document library.
2. In the page where the flash file is to be shown, add a content editor webpart
3. Add the HTML snippet was added into the source editor (of the Content Editor Web Part) in order to surface the Flash file

<Embed src="RelativeUrlToFlahFile" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="700" height="200"></Embed>

The parameters above are self-explanatory and can be changed based on requirements. This works in both MOSS 2007 and SharePoint 2010
