If you use Chrome, right click on the image, and then click on "Open image in new tab". This will tell the name of the file and its location.

Then overwrite that image file with a different one, refresh your site, and you should be done.

If you need to change the extension of the file, then search in the theme files for that original image file (e.g. logo.png) and then change it to "logo.gif", and refresh the site.

hi wishmaster

the image is defined in css/style.css

/* --------- Header --------- */
#xo-header {
    height: 330px;
    background: url("../img/header.jpg") no-repeat;
}

change the image name or replace header.jpg

hi

if you make changes on theme.html, please look in System preferences - General preferences, whether the Option "Check templates for modifications ?" is turn on. if not, turn on.

Than it can be, that you have to clean up the xoops cache, this you can do in the Administration with "Maintainance"

In some specific cases you have to clean also the browser Cache, but normally this is not necessary

Google: create swf

hi

if you want to implement SWF you have to do it with an object like this:
<object data="myswf.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="400">
  <param name="movie" value="myswf.swf">
  <param name="quality" value="high">
  <param name="scale" value="exactfit">
  <param name="menu" value="true">
  <param name="bgcolor" value="#000040">
</object>
