How to do Flash Header

[Jedward]

I have read FAQ and all postings here. Still can't find THE STEP BY STEP to say which file(s) and where to modify.
All threads are written for more experience people. Can some one once and for all writes a short but clear cook book on how to creat flash header?

There are lots of posts on this subject already, suggesting easy and advanced methods - do a search and I'm sure you'll find them.

Thanks, but I have seen that post and have followed it, I have end up with a white box on top of my screen. here is my site: www.iantiquerugs.com

The things that I am not sure are:
1- Where and which file should I add:
<scriptsrc="includes/templates/template_default/jscript/paragone.js"></script>

2- Considering the below script (saved at ../templates/template_default/jscript/), where should I store my flashheader.swf???

document.write('<OBJECT classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"');
document.write('codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"');
document.write('WIDTH="950" HEIGHT="200" id="flashheader" ALIGN="">');
document.write('<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="flashheader.swf"> <PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=false> <PARAM NAME=menu VALUE=false> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#555555> <EMBED src="flashheader.swf" loop=false menu=false quality=high bgcolor=#123456 WIDTH="950" HEIGHT="200" NAME="flashheader" ALIGN=""');
document.write('TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED>');

<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="flashheader.swf">
<EMBED src="flashheader.swf"

Since there is no path specified in the call to the swf file, then you'd upload the swf file to the same folder as your /index.php file.
ie: public_html for example.

I saved flashheader.swf in the root and still I have no flash banner......
Many poeple have done it and know the trick but not me
Any idea?

Your flash header looks fine in Firefox.
Doesn't seem to be loading in IE though.

[Jedward]

If it shows fine in firefox and not in IE then where have been wrong?

Something's wrong with the HTML content being used to load the flash object in the javascript block.

I'm not sure what all you've done exactly, but the javascript you're using to load the flash object needs to be replaced with this:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
document.write('<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" ');
document.write(' codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="950" height="200">');
document.write('<param name="movie" value="flashheader.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" />');
document.write('<embed src="flashheader.swf" width="950" height="200" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"></embed>');
document.write('</object>');
</script>
