Hello All,
How is it possible to use flash in the header of the Garland theme? What I mean by "header" is not the block region; it is where the site name and site logo are displayed.
Kind Regards

which image u want to be
which image u want to be replaced by flash?
let me do a demo for u.
Banner Image
Hello mm167,
Consider Garland theme, there is a blue region where the site logo and the site name are placed. I want to replace this region by a flash animation. I am not sure, but I think it is the images/body.png file which is rendered by css in a way that constructs the region which I mention. I will post a screen shot from the region. Check it at the following address:

want just a hard code
want just a hard code solution? or a full new theme?
by the way, the region, as in your screen shot, contains a blue background + a drupal logo + a site name.
I believe u want to replace the ( drupal logon + site name ) by a flash swf, right?
is your swf ready? what's the size of your swf? is it fit into the region?
if your swf is ready, I may show u how to do it in the hard code way. But for a full new theme, it may takes time.
About the SWF
Dear mm167,
Hello
Yes, I need a hard code solution, because my base theme is Garland. The size and other properties of the swf are OK. I need the blue background + site logo + site name to be replaced by the swf which contains all those elements itself.
Thanks a lot.

2. find "if($logo)" and "if ($site_name)", replace the lines in between as follows:
replace yyyy.swf by yout swf file name, wwww= width, hhhh=height of your wf
remove the space from the div and script tags
if ($logo) {
global $base_url;
$swffile = $base_url . '/' . drupal_get_path('theme','xxxxxx') . '/yyyyy.swf';
$x = '< d iv id="logoswf">< /div>'
. '< script type="text/javascript">'
. 'var s1 = new SWFObject("'.$swffile.'","logoswf","wwww","hhhh","9");'

hi mm167 I m following your
hi mm167
I m following your instruction to insert flash logo in my garland theme, I don't know where to get the swfobject.js file, can you tell me more about this swfobject.js?
thanks
The SWFObject download is
Thanks for the tutorial mm167.
@p1in9 - you will find the SWFObject download and documentation here - http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/
How about the name?
Is there a way I can replace the site name (and NOT the logo) by an image? So that way I can have both the logo image and a banner-like thing replacing the region?
Any solutions are welcome. Have been breaking my head over this for over a week.
Thanks a ton.
