Some ideas...

• First, make sure your swf file works.  Can you open it in your web browser by entering the exact address?
• Next, make sure your theme is properly pointing to the file.
• If you have a broken image icon for th SWF file, right click and see where it is looking for your file or view the source of the page to see where it is looking.

Posting a link usually helps. In this case, post a link to your coppermine-driven gallery and a deep link to the flash file.

the code in bold is the part i changed:        <td align="center"> {CUSTOM_HEADER}
            <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
              <tr>
                <td height="120"><table width="898" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
                    <tr>
                    <td colspan="8" width="890" height="121" style="background-image:url(themes/Ti2000/images/banner_1.swf); border:0px; width:100%; "><div align="right">

I tried with other other images and it works.  All other images were .gif is this why? here is the link it works so why isnt it working when i put it in? www.yourautoshow.com/rides/themes/Ti2000/images/banner_1.swf

I doubt you can use a flash file as a background image. Flash files are not images.
