No.
You cannot place an .swf file as the background. Flash files are out of the DOM, and cannot be placed as a background to anything. If you want it as your header, you need to use the correct object/embed src tags (Flash gives you this code when you create a movie), and place it in the HTML document. But it will not work as a background – not in any case.
a swf is not an image, its an object.
short answer = no.
(and for those that don’t know it, the embed tag is obsolete)
Its for the header image NOT the background? So there is no way of adding this to my site at all?
once again, a swf is NOT an image. It’s an object.

>>Its for the header image NOT the background?<<
But you have it set as the background in your stylesheet.
>>#header {
margin: 0px 0px 0px 31px;
background-image: url(/thebluntprophet.com/wp-content/themes/terracotta/images/rollingclouds.swf);
background-position: top left;
background-repeat: no-repeat;<<
Right there it is – set as the background in your CSS. This *will not* work. You *must* hardcode it into your HTML document – it’s not an image, it’s an object. Check out the link whooami posted above.
yes, read the link. youre missing the part where you have a basic knowledge of (X)HTML.
and for the record, flash headers are covered extensively on these forums, a search would do you good.

Got it, thanks a bunch, now to figure out why it pushes the posts etc over to much. thought I had the right demensions
Anyone have any ideas? Is this a CSS push or did I miss something in the header.php file?
I don’t see any pushing of the posts…what browser are you viewing in?
FF and IE – It pushes the posts and the footer over to the right some.
Check my contact page, I don’t even see the form anymore just the footer in a weird place.
Hmm FF hasn’t refreshed yet IE looks fine, now to fix my footer that is pushed.
anyhelp would rock
THANKS !
