You can just use HTML code to embed the .swf to your website,

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" 
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0"  
width="432" height="330" title="game">
      <param name="movie" value="/flash/yourflash.swf" />
      <param name="quality" value="high" />
      <embed src="/flash/yourflash.swf" quality="high" 
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" 
width="432"  height="330"></embed>
    </object>

"/flash" is the folder to store Flash files on your web server.
Also remember to upload all the files to your web server.

Only problem with that is that the html isn't W3C compliant. The <embed> tag originally came from netscape and although it is adopted by IE it is still not compliant. This is xhtml 1.0 transitional and far simpler anyway:

<object
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="example.swf"
width="300" height="175" hspace="10" vspace="10" align="right">
<param name="movie" value="example.swf" />
</object>

to make it compliant with html 4.01 transitional this would be the html I think:

<object
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="example.swf"
width="300" height="175" hspace="10" vspace="10" align="right">
<param name="movie" value="example.swf">
</object>
