i ve tried to change something around the Css file , but failed to do it , i will try to explain it as much as i can , maybe someone can help me with this

in the Style Css there is this line for header image

}
.headerImg {

background-image: url(images/banner.jpg);
width: 805px;
}

now i tried to change the (images/banner.jpg) to (images/banner.swf) and included the .swf file on place , but nothing shown .

then i tried to do it on Theme.html , on DW insert > flash , and then i inserted the flash in place , it shows up pretty good on my PC , but on the Web it doesnt load .!

im not really experienced with much web stuff , so maybe someone can tell me what am i doing wrong ?

Is your flash file OK and does it show when you surf to the .swf URL?

Yes flash file works well , i ve checked the Swf u put .
to make myself more clear , thats the part of the header im concerned with . i will put Theme , and related Css


<table width="100%" height="400"  border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" dir=rtl id="header">   <tr>     
<td id="logo"><table dir=rtl width="100%"  border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td><img src="<{$xoops_imageurl}>images/logo.gif" alt=""  />
td>
       tr>       
<tr>         
<td id="slogan"><{$xoops_slogan}>td>       
tr>     
table>td>     
<td class="headerImg">&nbsp;td>   
tr> 
table>


and the Css concerned with Class="headerImg" where i want to put the flash instead of image .

} .headerImg {      
background-image: url(images/banner.jpg);
width: 805px; }

You can't use an swf file as a background-image, at least not using HTML or CSS, the browser doesn't render shockwave files. The flash plug-in is required by your site visitors and you'll need to use object and embed tags. Here is a link to the object and embed tag syntax required to make it work:

I get a 403 error when I try to access the swf file directly. Looking at your page source and assuming the file 5.swf is in your theme directory, you may need to add:

<{$xoops_imageurl}>5.swf


where necessary in the embed src and object param.
