   I set up a static page for my wordpress solution. I use this solution to do it:

   Admin Area/Settings/Reading

   1) Chose A Static page
   2) set Home as my Front page
   3)... and Blog as my Posts page

   Then I tried this code to have a flash swf on my Front page:

   This is only the end of header.php
   

   </div><!-- #masthead -->
   	</div><!-- #header -->
   
   <!-- Include swf only for home page -->
   <?php if(is_home()): ?>
   <div id="hm_swf">
   <!-- Put here the swf code -->
   <embed src="http://www.mywebsite.no/wordpress/wp-content/flash/bannerliten.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="960" height="228" name="bannerliten" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" />
    </div>
   <?php endif; ?>
   <!-- Include swf only for home page -->
   
   	<div id="main">

   As you can see, this code should bring up the frontpage:
   

   <?php if(is_home()): ?>

   .. but my problem is that the flash swf only show up on my blog page. I recognize that my flash swf is working inside there, but why did WordPress define Blog as Home and not the actual homepage itself?

   See the site here: http://www.multiarena.no/wordpress/

   Hjem = Home

   is_home() = main posts page
   is_front_page() = your site's front page (static or posts)

   </div><!-- #masthead -->
   	</div><!-- #header -->
   
   <!-- Include swf only for home page -->
   <?php if(is_page('Hjem') || is_page('hjem')): ?>
   <div id="hm_swf">
   <!-- Put here the swf code -->
   <embed src="http://www.mywebsite.no/wordpress/wp-content/flash/bannerliten.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="960" height="228" name="bannerliten" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" />
    </div>
   <?php endif; ?>
   <!-- Include swf only for home page -->
   
   	<div id="main">

   Try this Andy.

   Or you can try esmi's send line. It will solve your problem.

   This code helped me out:

   <?php if(is_page('Hjem') || is_page('hjem')): ?>

   ... but I know that

   is_front_page()

   ...should do the job

   Thanks to you both chinmoy and esmi :-)
