You can embed SWF files in a similar way to images.  You can insert this embed code and change the URL to where you placed the SWF file.

The size MUST be 494 x 300 pixels or the game will not play correctly.

Html embed code:

<object width=”494″ height=”300″ data=”http://******************/MicroPutt.swf” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash”>
<param name=”src” value=”http://******************/MicroPutt.swf” />
</object>

***** should be the location of your swf.
