To replace a .jpg or .gif image with a Flash movie, all you have to do is create the movie the same size as the image that you're replacing. Publish the movie so that you get the HTML code for the movie. It will look something like this:

Thanks Kelly,
I did the following and got an error, i'll just switch back the code for now.

I made my flash movie the same sizes as the jpg logo,
Uploaded the html and the swf to themes/Charcoal2/forums/images/
Located logo.jpg in my themes/Charcoal2/theme.php and selected the code below

<img src=\"themes/Charcoal2/forums/images/logo.jpg\" alt=\"\" height=\"58\" width=\"349\" border=\"0\">

And replaced that code with my flash movie's html code:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,42,0"
id="logo" width="349" height="58">
<param name="movie" value="logo.swf">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#505050">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="samedomain">
<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
width="349" height="58"
name="logo" src="http://www.gs-world.net/php/themes/Charcoal2/forums/images/logo.swf"
bgcolor="#505050" quality="high"
swLiveConnect="true" allowScriptAccess="samedomain"
></embed>
</object>

But on viewing the home page i saw this error.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/gsworld/public_html/php/themes/Charcoal2/theme.php on line 196

I switched back to the origional code for now.
later thanks for your time.

In your header

I'm editing the wrong code or something
?

OK yea, the header info for Charcoal2 is in theme.php, so you're in the right place.

What you need to do is escape the quotation marks around your values. Try replacing your image tag with this:

Sorry again, I'm just excited to have this workin,
This is the only code i have changed so far:
<img src=\"themes/Charcoal2/forums/images/logo.jpg\" alt=\"\" height=\"58\" width=\"349\" border=\"0\">

But I get the same error when I try to view it in my theme, i.e. Charcoal2
I can't figure it out. I used the above code you sugested this time.
Maybe I shouldshow you the entire theme.php? i'll add that below..

Ok this is my theme.php for my Charcoal2 theme:

It won't allow me to put a certin html tag so i'll post a lin kto the rar file i made of the theme.php k?

Try it again please.

Replace this code:

Almost got it i think,
I have no error this time, but on loading my home page,
I can see the area where the flash should load, but it hasn't loaded properly:
Look [ Register or login to view links on this board.]

OK, check to make sure the path listed in the Flash code matches the path to the .swf file on your server. There are two places you need to check it.

I can't figure it out,
The html code for my logo flash has this address:
themes/Charcoal2/forums/images/logo.swf

And the code in the themes/Charcoal2/themes/theme.php has \ in the address:
src=\"http://www.gs-world.net/php/themes/Charcoal2/forums/images/logo.swf\"
But that how it's supose to be.
