Flash into Wordpress

[duffydj]

Hi. First of all, thanks for all your answers on this website.
Now it's my turn to try to get an answer.
I'm trying to insert a rotating header or banner into my wordpress blog and I have the SWF file already done. I just need help how to put into wordpress.
I know very little or nothing of PHP.
Could you please give me a little help on this?
Thanks!

you can put the swf file in the root WP folder then call the swf from the header.php(if that's where you want the swf)

Can you define 'rotating'?

What mean by rotating is a cycling header with several images on the header and with smoother transitions.

You'll need to edit the theme you have for your wordpress installation. There is generally a 'header.php' file. However, you may be better reading the documentation on wordpress themeing (google).

hi,
I don't have flash banner for my blog but here is what you need to do:
1. Create you sample page is PHP to include flash header; If you have dreamweaver it will be very easy to do with knowing anything about PHP.

2. Copy your AC_RunActiveCon tent.js file in appopriate folder may be create a new folder under selected theme and call it script.

3. Copy flash banner in a folder under blog theme (or where ever you want; need to know the path when copying code in blog header file)

4. In wordpress theme open header.php and copy code from PHP page that you created locally on your computer. Change path of the the flash banner and java script files to match the lcoation where you upload them ( Make sure you have change file permissions)

5. If you have some css changes that would go under style.css with permissions

Good luck.
