To embed flash into your website you simply use a small piece of HTML. I've pasted an example below:

<object width="550" height="400">

<param name="movie" value="somefilename.swf">
<embed src="somefilename.swf" width="550" height="400">
</embed>
</object>


That's the minimum code you need to embed flash - replace somefilename.swf with the filename of your flash game.

And if you don't want to hunt for this code, you can use what MMF2 gives you. When you build an swf, MMF2 creates an html file with the same name. Open it in notepad and you'll have the code you need right there. Just look for where you see the
<object>
and
</object>
tags. Copy all that into your site!

What host are you using? Some sites that use easy creation tools have buttons that let you insert html code. Unless you're building from scratch, that's what you'll need.

Is the SWF uploaded to the site? I don't know how weebly works, but the filename in the code has to point to the correct pathname to the swf.

The file doesn't exist on your server (http://joncb.weebly.com/Flash%20Game%20Test.swf). Are you sure you uploaded the SWF file to your website?

If you have then it could be an issue with having spaces in the Flash file's name.

You need to upload the flash file to your web server/hosting - the web site can't just read it off your computer or anything. All the HTML code does is let the page know you want to embed a specific flash file, it doesn't actually embed it into the code for you.

It's the same as inserting an image into a web page - you need to upload the image and then specify the HTML to display the image. Works pretty much the same with Flash files.

In the Weebly editor under "elements", click "Multimedia". Drag the flash icon where you want it and click it to upload the swf file. If you ever need to upload a file in the future, you can drag the file icon.

Side note: This is an awful host.
