Replacing the Flash animation with your own Flash or Swish animation

This support page outlines how to "replace" the Flash header animation in the header.js. You can also add your own animation to the sidebar.js or other .js files. Click here for help adding items to .js files.

There are two types of header.js files. Newer templates have varables built in and older templates just have basic Flash code in the header. js.

Your new animation can be created in either Swish or in Flash.

Editing the header.js (newer templates):
First, create your Flash or Swish animation. You will need a .swf file for the new animation you plan to use. For example, let's say that your new animation is called "mylogo.swf". This can be created using Flash MX or using Swish. Or you may have purchased this animation from another website. You will now need to edit the header.js as shown below:

For example, let's say that your new animation is called "mylogo.swf". This can be created using Flash MX or using Swish. Or you may have purchased this animation from another website. You will now need to edit the header.js as shown below:
