    Default Help with placing flash files in DW

    I figured out how to create a flash button that changes on rollover. Now I want
    to bring it in to Dreamweaver.

    However - in Dreamweaver I create a layout table. Then I select "insert" -
    "media"- "flash" and import the flash file. It comes in, but completely ignores
    the layout table - and is a huge gray box with the F (for Flash) icon in the
    center. I hit the "play" button and the big box changes to the actual button.

    2 questions:

    why does the flash file take up so much room in the layout table (before I hit
    "play"), and can tables be used to layout where the flash goes? How do people
    get those tight little flash menus happening?? Am I exporting the flash file
    incorrectly?

    Thank you.
