I don't know if it is possible to add a Flash banner into a Wordpress theme... Ideally, this banner would be in the header of the site always. Any ideas on how I might accomplish this?

Adding unnecessary Flash to your site is a sure way to annoy your users. – Steve Kuo Dec 11 '08 at 15:45

Could you please let me know the address of the blog where you plan to do this so I can add it to my "This way there be dragons" list? – EBGreen Dec 11 '08 at 16:10

The question is difficult to answer in it's current form. If you are having problems editing a particular template, consider posting the relevant snippets from it, how you expect it to work, and how it is not working. If you're asking as a WordPress user rather than a theme developer, I'd suggest using http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/ would be a better place. – roryf Aug 22 '12 at 13:22

Yes, it's very much possible. What I would recommend is to use swfobject to replace the your current header with a Flash movie. This way it will degrade gracefully for everyone that lacks a proper flash player, and also you get the benefit of proper google indexing.

You need to edit the corresponding .php file that contains your banner (I don't know what version of WordPress you're using).
The code will be resource-intensive and ugly, though.

Thank you for expressing your opinion with a downvote. And I was talking about the code, not Flash. – Robert S. Dec 12 '08 at 15:26
