Whether you create them yourself or have them built for you, SiteMaker will accept external Flash files as long as they conform to some basic guidelines:

• The SWF must be running at 24 fps (frames per second)

• The file should be exported for Flash Player 7 or 8

• Replace any 'absolute' references to _root (in action script code) with 'relative' references (this, _parent etc)

• Mask any animation that goes outside the SWF boundary

• The generated Flash file must be a self-contained SWF and created using an 'acceptable' Flash generator

If you decide to have a Flash file built for you (i.e. by a Flash developer) then just ensure that they create the file following the above rules.
