Flash header simple question

  • I want to simply replace the header of my “Kubrick”-themed gallery with a .swf file. It seems I simply cannot replace and redirect the file information in the header.php file, as the flash file does not appear once updated. Can someone advise me on this? I’m looking for something simple, as I have no knowledge of PHP beyond located file names within the code. I greatly appreciate any help, thanks!

  • Pixel perfect on PC running XP and FireFox 1.5
    Off by a pixel on IE though.

    You probably could get a workaround with that one pixel thing, not sure right now, but I have had that problem quite a number of times, if it comes back to my mind as to what can be done to rectify that, will let you know.

    And nice post (the first one right now) ??

    Skulled or Jontherobot I currently have the same issue with my site and wondered if you could repost the code for using a Flash header for my blog. I tried using Semiologic but I can’t seem to manipulate the sidebars like I want and it was a lot easier to do using the default template.

    Thanks in advance.

    I second fishcake37’s post, guys. That code would be great to have a look at. This is a huge issue for me. It’s the one thing that really bothers me about WP. All I want is to be able to embed a flash header atop my pages. Thanks!

    Would you be a dear and post your flash code INSIDE the default header? I cannot work it out either, as the default header seems to split up some of the code sentences.

    skulled, where in pastebin is that code?

    This is my code for my flash banner. I don’t know if it helps.

    timfitz – pastebin links only work for about 5 minutes.
    Any way you can put that up somewhere permanently for us? It might be a great resource to a lot of people…

    Yeh, timfitz, could you please post a copy of how you’ve edited the php file please?

    I’ve tried to no avail. Cheers!

    Um. Pastebin actually works for a couple of days.

    Yup, but it’s not showing anymore. ??

    Here is the code for my header file:

    I put it in a text file that you could view via my website. As it says above in the thread, you might have to do some changes in the CSS to make it look right.

    Happy Mardi Gras!!!

    Thanks for that Tim!!

    I’m going to bookmark this thread for future reference purposes.. =)

    Just wanted to update, I tried with Tim’s header file but couldn’t get the file to work 100%. I since changed it slightly and have put it in a jpg file here:

    I had to change the header and headerimg settings. But bear in mind that my flash file is 740×200 pixels.

    Good luck and thanks to all those who posted here!! Excellent topic!

    unfortunately, the codes at pastebin are gone. i wanna insert a .swf instead of the kubrickheader.jpg
    and i inserted the
    <object>...><embed>..</embed></object>

    into the <div id=header></div> area, but then nothing show up……can anyone share this tip with me again? Thanks.
