Which version of Flash are you using?

Scrowler,
You will first need to Publish it. Which will give you an HTML and SWF file. Then you will upload these files the same way you do your other html or jpeg files. Do not upload the .fla file.
The HTML file is a placeholder for the SWF file. I usually put my SWF files in my images folder, so make sure the path on your HTML is correct as such.
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="images/myfile.swf">
<EMBED src="images/myfile.swf"

On a Mac under File there are some publishing settings.
I would suggest reading over this in the Help section or your users manual, it gives all this information in full detail. There are alot of other options available.

It's not a an absolute must to publish your movie in HTML format. I mean, yeah, some people do this. Others don't. I always just publish the movie in SWF format and put that directly on a page I'm working on.

Just take the SWF file that is used in the HTML page and this time, use a web editor such as Dreamweaver to insert the movie. Then, I would center the movie on the page using a table with ONLY 1 row and one column. To get the SWF file centered on the page you'll need to center the table. If you don't already have the HTML page published, publish the Flash movie as an SWF and do exactly what I said to do.
