I think you will have to do a little more than that. Here is a geeklog that uses a flash intro.
you could also add the following code to your header.thtml file:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=4,0,2,0" width="650" height="460">
<param name=movie value="PUBLIC_HTML/YOURFILE.swf">
<param name=quality value=high>
<embed src="PUBLIC_HTML/YOURFILE.swf" quality=high pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="550" height="360">
</embed>
</object>
Modify the path, file name, and the width and height to meet your needs and it should work.
With any luck.
Back up the header.thtml first.
Definitely backup.

Text Formatted Code
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=4,0,2,0" width="650" height="460">

Seems that website which uses flash has a boo-boo. The index page shows his config.php file.

Wow that can’t be safe! Well Comicbookguy thanks for the info unfortunately it was a good thing I backed it up cause I sure needed it i will try again tomorrow when I have had some sleep, i do have another quick question though
I just want to replace the geeklog logo.gif with a flash file the same size and then anywhere now where you see the logo you’ll see the flash logo instead, the program I have creates 2 flash files plus some html code to be copied and pasted, my question has to do with the html code, do I place this html code in the header theme file? Or does this html code get put on its own file and then placed in the root directory?
Ok I lied about the quick question
Thanks

If you want the Flash file to play in your header than you place the Object tag in the header. If you view the source for the examples of sites using Flash (in this thread) you will see that they are using the same basic tag. Take a look at what they have done and you should be able to figure it out. I use the same thing to display Flash files in stories and static pages on my site.

I've killed some stuff from the code posting, but there's probably still more info than you really need.
You'll notice that I use a full URL when referencing the SWF file and it's substitute JPG - I was having some problems with the paths as people would surf into subfolders.
Hope this helps!

I really can't figure out how to get flash to work in a story - (static page yes) - I would really like to maintain the flow of things and include flash in a story. Can you snip me the code you are using? Thanks

In a story, you'd have to activate all the HTML tags you'd need via the config.php.
Mind you, I haven't tried this, so I don't know if it'd work or if there are security issues.
But it's a start.
