    hi glassrabbit,

    i’ve been playing around with putting flash in the header myself. i don’t care what the haters say, i like the flash.

    hey, so you’ve got the flash in your header, but none of the links work, can you post the code for your flash header?

    basic actionscript 2 code for a movieclip/button link looks like this:

    yourInstance_mc.onRelease = function() {
	getURL("https://www.yoursitename.com/blog/?page_id=182");
};

    I was very pleased to get my Flash header working using Kimili. But then I discovered it works on everything but IE7 (haven’t tried IE8 yet).
    This is so frustrating.
    Here’s the code from header.php. Can anyone please tell me what I’m doing wrong?

    <?php } else { // No sidebar ?>
    #page { background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/kubrickbgwide.jpg”) repeat-y top; border: none; }
    <?php } ?>

    hi nyuji,

    can you post a link? i’d like to see the html in action.

    i’ve been playing around with putting Flash in the header and on my pages. i didn’t use Kimili, just swfObject. i’d say if your playing around in the header you could probably handle putting Flash in without the use of a plug-in, eh?

    here’s my results, i’m still putting the site together so it’s not all there, but the flash header works nice and degrades well if you’re viewing in a non-java or non-flash browser.
    https://www.workalicious.com/blog/

    i can’t tell you exactly where you’re going wrong, but here’s a snippet from my original test version, pre-workalicious. maybe it could help you:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.workalicious.com/blog/wp-content/themes/hardway/js/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var vars = {};
var params = { scale:'noScale', salign:'t', menu:'false' };
var attributes = { id:'headerflash', name:'headerflash' }; // give an id to the flash object

swfobject.embedSWF("wp-content/themes/hardway/swf/header.swf", "headerflash", "100%", "100%", "9.0.0", "js/expressInstall.swf", vars, params, attributes );
</script>

    then down in the body i have the flash replacing the image

    <body>
<div id="page">
<div id="header">
<div id="headerflash">
<div id="headerimg"><a href="/blog" class="link"></a></div>
</div>
</div>
<hr />

    check out swfObject:
    https://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/documentation

    nyuji, it looks like you’re missing the swfObject from the head of the header…

    <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>

    from what you’ve posted it looks like you have Step 1 from the swfObject Static instructions down, but don’t have Step 2 and 3.

    it’s taken some time for me to get my head around the difference between dynamic and static swfObject publishing, but it looks like the ‘object’ approach is the ‘static’. i found the ‘dynamic’ approach worked for me.
