Title: Header = Flash Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Header = Flash * [ronchicago](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ronchicago/) * (@ronchicago) * [19 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-flash/) * Can we put a flash file in our header? If we can put a .jpg in the header it seems we could put flash. I haven’t seen a motion header yet and wondering about it.

No reason why you can’t. You just do an embed. * [e-monk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/e-monk/) * (@e-monk) * [19 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-flash/#post-540848) * I have one flash in my header, you can create a div to put it. For example: *

You also don’t need the embed junk, thats deprecated. * A Valid example: * ```

Do I put that in the header.php or in the style. css? Thanks in advance * Thread Starter [ronchicago](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ronchicago/) * (@ronchicago) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-flash/#post-541166) * well, i have not finished my flash art but i wish to revisit per adamsjw2 question. i am guessing the style.css? that is where i put my rotate.php code in the header folder for a mast-header on another site. * [whooami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whooami/) * (@whooami) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-flash/#post-541167) * you dont put PHP inside your stylesheet, no. * if thats what you just asked. * Thread Starter [ronchicago](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ronchicago/) * (@ronchicago) * [19 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/header-flash/#post-541168) * here is what i placed it in the stylesheet: * #header { padding: 0; margin: 0; position: relative; height: 200px; background: url(‘images/header/rotate.php’) left center no-repeat; * here is the config instructions:

/* ————————- CONFIGURATION ———————–

Set $folder to the full path to the location of your images.
For example: $folder = ‘/user/me/example.com/images/’;
If the rotate.php file will be in the same folder as your
images then you should leave it set to $folder = ‘.’;

$folder = ‘.’;

Most users can safely ignore this part. If you’re a programmer,
keep reading, if not, you’re done. Go get some coffee.

If you’d like to enable additional image types other than
gif, jpg, and png, add a duplicate line to the section below
for the new image type.

Add the new file-type, single-quoted, inside brackets.

Add the mime-type to be sent to the browser, also single- quoted,
after the equal sign.

For example:

PDF Files:

$extList[‘pdf’] = ‘application/pdf’;

CSS Files:

$extList[‘ css’] = ‘text/css’;

You can even serve up random HTML files:

$extList[‘html’] = ‘text/html’;
$extList[‘htm’] = ‘text/html’;

Just be sure your mime-type definition is correct!

$extList = array();
$extList[‘gif’] = ‘image/gif’;
$extList[‘jpg’] = ‘image/jpeg’;
$ extList[‘jpeg’] = ‘image/jpeg’;
$extList[‘png’] = ‘image/png’;

< p>// You don’t need to edit anything after this point.

ABOUT
This PHP script will randomly select an image file from a
folder of images on your webserver. You can then link to it
as you would any standard image file and you’ll see a random
image each time you reload.

When you want to add or remove images from the rotation-pool,
just add or remove them from the image rotation folder.

For example, you would go to a single post in the category ‘News’ and see a flash header saying ‘News’ at the top, and the same for each category. I guess it’s something to do with conditional tags, but I couldn’t find one about categories.
