Flash Header

[Graphicman]

Hi

A friend has kindly done me a flash header for my site which i would like to install. he has sent me 2 files 1 html and 1 flash file. i wondered if someone would kindly explain in laymens terms how i install these on the site. i have been through the forums and although found several threads cannot make head nor tail of them. If someone could take the time to do this i'm sure it would also benefit others aswell. i am using the lavender template.
The site is http://www.toyjoyshop.co.uk and the flash banner is the full width across the top.

Thanking anybody taking the time to help in advance

I'm working on it bud, I went to see if the help file had anything on it but when you click the link the page is blank. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing!

If this were normal HTML I'd say that all you have to do is call your swf file using object tags; I don't know if this being a cart and utilizing php if it's any different or not.

But, for example; on my site http://www.thepatchworkpeddler.com I have a little flash movie; it's referenced here:

<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" height="150" width="250">
<param name="movie" value="images/mall4.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="LOOP" value="false">
<embed src="images/mall4.swf" loop="false" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="150" width="250">
</object>

[FONT=Verdana]So I would imagine that to some degree it's a matter of replacing you're current header images with something like the above. You'll want to make sure it's in a div or something so you can center it but you get the idea

What file do i alter for this to work.

Thank you everyone for your help but unfortunately i have got no further in dealing with this, i have checked the above link Misty but no one seems to explain where to place the code and what files to put it in.
Is there anybody who can explain this process, is it really that hard to do, i'm sure there are alot of members that might be interested in this.
Thanks
