Adding flash to the header of FriendsElectric

I have edited the kubrick theme layout page.tpl.php header tag and replaced the Flash object but no luck. More help is appreciated. I am sure "snowball" and I are not the only Drupal newbies grappling with this problem. Thanks!

I am also trying to drop a Flash header into the code..and just blew up my site...if you or anyone can tell me how to do this that would be great!

cheers

1. Open page.tpl.php and look for <div id="header"> add:

<div id="header" width="XXX" height="XXX">

where XXX is the size of your flash movie.

2. The following code after that one:

<div class="hw1"><div class="hw2">
  <?php if ($logo): ?>
    <a href="<?php print url(); ?>" title="Index Page"><img src="<?php print $logo; ?>" alt="Logo" id="site-logo" /></a>
  <?php endif; ?>
  <?php if ($site_name): ?>
    <h1 id="site-name" class="<?php print $site_slogan ? 'with-slogan' : 'without-slogan'; ?>"><a href="<?php print url(); ?>" title="Index Page"><?php print $site_name; ?></a></h1>
  <?php endif;?>
  <?php if ($site_slogan): ?>
    <span id="site-slogan"><?php print $site_slogan; ?></span>
  <?php endif;?>

Must be erased with their corresponding </div> codes on line 49. Keep in mind to just erase two </div> codes, 'cause the third one close the <div id="header"> code which handles all the header code.

3. Replace the code on step 2 after <div id="header" width="XXX" height="XXX"> with this one:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="XXX" height="XXX"> <param name="movie" value="yourlogo.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <param name="wmode" value="Transparent" /> <param name="menu" value="false" /> <param name="scale" value="noscale" /> <embed src="yourlogo.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="XXX" height="XXX" wmode="Transparent" menu="false" scale="noscale"></embed> </object>

Where yourlogo.swf is the name of your swf logo. Change those XXX with the swf's width and weight. Keep in mind that the swf file must be  STORED at the root folder where Drupal is running, usually the root folder of your site not in your template's folder. 

4. If you don't want to keep the search bar which appears right bellow the logo, you'll need to erase also this code:

  <?php if ($search_box): ?>
  <form action="<?php print $search_url; ?>" method="post">
    <div id="search">
      <input class="form-text" type="text" size="15" value="" name="keys" /><input class="form-submit" type="submit" value="<?php print ucfirst($search_button_text); ?>" />
    </div>
  </form>
  <?php endif; ?>

5. If you don't want to keep the menus which appears over the logo, you'll need to erase also this code:

  <div id="top-nav">
    <?php if (is_array($primary_links)): ?>
      <ul id="primary">
      <?php foreach ($primary_links as $link): ?>
        <li><?php print phptemplate_wrap_links($link, 2); ?></li>
      <?php endforeach; ?>
      </ul>
    <?php endif; ?>

    <?php if (is_array($secondary_links)): ?>
      <ul id="secondary">
      <?php foreach (array_reverse($secondary_links) as $link): ?>
        <li><?php print phptemplate_wrap_links($link, 2); ?></li>
      <?php endforeach; ?>
      </ul>
    <?php endif; ?>
  </div>
