Hey Telli! What's up....I went into that file the other day...and ended up empty handed...I assumed that I would insert the code for the mm flashplayer...somewhere there...I tried different things...none of them seemed to work...I modified my header in my theme.php just fine for flash. If you can give me a lil detail on how I could tweak this area of my forum it would be greatly appreciated...I'll be running a music site but I don't have a problem with linking to your page in return for your help. Thanks in advance!

I dont know exactly what the theme looks like but where it says {SITENAME} is where you should add the flash codes for the forum header.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html dir="{S_CONTENT_DIRECTION}">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset={S_CONTENT_ENCODING}">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css">
{META}
{NAV_LINKS}
<title>{SITENAME} :: {PAGE_TITLE}</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="themes/subBlack/forums/forums.css" type="text/css" />
<style type="text/css">

Do I actually replace SITNAME with the code?....is it the same exact code that I used in theme.php shown below?
echo "<object classid=\"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/
flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0\" width=\"100%\" height=\"130\"> "
."<param name=\"movie\" value=\"themes/subBlack/forums/flash/movie.swf\"> "
."<param name=quality value=high> "
."<embed src=\"themes/subBlack/forums/flash/movie.swf\" quality=high pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/
index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\"
width=\"100%\" height=\"130\"></embed>"
."</object>";

Please help....thanks in advance!!!

since th epage is already in html format, you wont need to use the echo PHP command. You can just add the flash object codes in there BUT...before you add it to the top of the nav area, can you please post the whole overall_header file here. As I mentioned before, I dont have that theme so I dont know what it looks like.

it almost looks like you'll have to add another table in there to accomodate your flash. I'd do it between

<tr>
      <td class="bodyline"><table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">   
      <tr>    
        <td align="center" width="100%" valign="middle"><span class="gen">
          &nbsp; </span>


the top td is for the sitename and the lower td is for the black space in between the nav links and the sitename. so, it's your choise where you want to add it. consider too, the size of your flash.
