when i modded my site i just included a custom site_header.php and site_footer.php page to wrap around my gallery.  the page im working on (shown here) has a flash banner at the top of the page.  there is actually 2 of them, one that plays when you visit the page and another that loops till you leave the site.  to make this work i used a session that told my server to display the intro when a user visits the site and play the second looping one till they leave.

here is the code i used to do this.  at the top of the included page is
Code Select
<?php session_start(); ?>
<html>
<head>
<title>de la fate</title>
<link href="/dsu/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">... blah blah
and around the flash banner is this. 
Code Select
<?php 
if ( $lgo_ply == 1 )
 {
 echo ('
  <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="347" height="133">
          <param name="movie" value="/dsu/images/fate_loop.swf">
          <param name="quality" value="high">
          <embed src="/dsu/images/fate_loop.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="347" height="133"></embed>
  </object>
');
 }
 else
 {
echo ('
  <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="347" height="133">
          <param name="movie" value="/dsu/images/fate_intro.swf">
          <param name="quality" value="high">
          <embed src="/dsu/images/fate_intro.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="347" height="133"></embed>
  </object>
');
 }

   $_SESSION['lgo_ply'] = 1;

?>

if $lgo_ply has a value of 1 in it then it plays the loop flash banner.  unfortunatly something must be happening to this variable since it is constantly playing the intro.  im not sure what else i can explain but if you need to see other code then ill post it.  heck, maybe there is a better way of doing this anyway.  thanks for your help. :)
