I did some research here and figured out how to install a swf file in the backgroud of my header. I was told to modify the page.tpl.php file to this:

   <div id="header" align=center>
    <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" /
      codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,42,0" /
      id="header" width="765" height="150">
      <param name="movie" value="header.swf">
      <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF">
      <param name="quality" value="high">
      <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="samedomain"> 
      <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" /
       pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /
       width="765" height="150" /
       name="header" src="cactusbiketukeebanner.swf" /
       bgcolor="#FFFFFF" quality="high" /
       swLiveConnect="true" allowScriptAccess="samedomain" /
      ></embed>
    </object>

and I also modified the .css file to include this:

}
.header_img { <!--  background: #444 url(combustion_header.jpg) no-repeat; -->
  height: 180px; width: 765px;
  font-family: helvetica,verdana,arial,sans-serif;
  color: #fff;
  
  top: 0px; left: 22px;}

The site looks perfect in Safari but the header is totally messed in IE. Can anyone help me?

thanks in advance for any help you can lend

Peace

per the code above, you are referencing two different files

header.swf and cactusbiketukeebanner.swf
one in the object and one in the embed.

what exactly is the name of the file and where exactly is the file located in reference to the theme itself ?

I may be wrong, but this sounds like that weird IE6 flash bug that resulted from some obscure legal dispute with microsoft and adobe. At my work's website, we've had to resort to using swfobject for many of our flash components because, you guessed it, IE6 isn't loading them.
