 * Good Evening,
    I have read a lot through the forums and on other blogs about 
   replacing your header with a flash SWF file.
 * I have gotten pretty far on my own experimenting with this but I am wondering
   how you call the javascript in the beggining of the file. Here is my code placed
   after the <div id=”header”>:
    <script type=”text/javascript” src=”swfobject.js”
   ></script>
 * <div id=”headerflash”>
    </div>
 * <script type=”text/javascript”>
    var so = new SWFObject(“[http://c1test.com/images/header.swf&#8221](http://c1test.com/images/header.swf&#8221);,“
   headerflash”, “900”, “250”, “8”, “#FFFFFF”); so.write(“headerflash”); </script
   >
 * Is that all the code I need to call the swfobject.js?
    If so all I’m getting 
   is a white box. Although this box is dispaying in flash because you can right
   click and see that it’s Flash. Maybe I’m screwing up with the div ID I’m not 
   sure. I know that is definitely the URL where the swf is located. Any help would
   be truly appreciated. Thanks, Justin
 * P.S. Here is a[LINK](http://c1test.com) to what I have so far.

 * Got IT!! I just changed the URL if the SWF to the main folder of the theme instead
   of the “images” folder. Then I changed th area that says (“[http://c1test.com/images/header.swf&#8221](http://c1test.com/images/header.swf&#8221);,
   and just changed it to header.swf

 * you are not having the same issue, unless you have changed something and digging
   up a 5mo old thread is lame.
