Deployment:
1. Make a copy of D:\FlexSDK\templates\swfobject\index.template.html and open it.

The template contains placeholders for values you should insert. This includes
everything from the page's title (${title}) to the size of the Flash content
(in ${width} and ${height} in multiple places each). Just search for instances
of ${ and edit what you find.
-- ${version_major}.${version_minor}.${version_revision} should be replaced
with 10.0.0 corresponding Flash Player 10.
-- ${expressInstallSwf} should be replaced with the name of the SWF file that
will handle the Flash Player plug-in express installation. The
playerProductInstall.swf file, also found in the SDK's templates/swfobject
directory, can serve this purpose.
-- ${application} should be the project's name.
-- ${swf} is to be replaced with the actual SWF file.
2. Make sure that the other files are also copied to the web server along with the html file:
playerProductInstall.swf and swfobject.js
