   hi,
   i am trying to replace my header with a flashmovie with the kimili flash plugin.

   i know i have to change my functions.php, but i am confused of how to achieve that.

   also i have a problem with the aside widget areas. as soon as i put a flashmovie in the widgetarea, the category dropdown menue goes behind the flashmovie.

   if anyone can point me in the right directtion i would be more than happy.

   thanks

   hey chris,

   i have to say you are awesome, quick replies and always a solution. dankeschoen!!

   the wmode="transparent" for the flashmovies did the deal!!!

   i still cant find out how i can put the embed for the flashmovies in the header.
   i found this:
   http://igwebs.com/igblog/?p=32
   but i can't find out, how to put it in my functions.php of my childtheme.
   i also would love to be able to set a flashmovie as the background image of for example the crown-widget or other widgets to be able to put a normal widget on top of it.

   any ideas?

   thanks

   Hi,

   try this code in your child theme's functions.php:

   function my_flash() {
   	$content = '<div id="flashmovie">';
   	$content .= '[kml_flashembed movie="your.swf" height="300" width="300" /]';
   	$content .= '</div>';
   	echo do_shortcode($content);
   	}
   	add_action('thematic_header', 'my_flash', 2);

   You need to change your.swf and the priority 2 to whatever is needed.

   The above code is tested and approved :)
