Replace the file name with whatever you have named yours. Replace the width and height with the dimentions of your swf. This code uses a white background color...replace with hex code of the background color you need.

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="filename.swf" width="490" height="450">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" />
<param name="movie" value="filename.swf" />
