 * I installed my flash nav bar into the header.php of the default template. Everything
   is working except when you click on the tab to go to another page nothing happens!
 * The flash is working properly I use it on other pages and have tested it. Just
   not working with word press.
 * Here is my header.php any help is appreciated!

 * try the simple embed code for testing or verify your object code.
 *     ```
       <embed width="xxx" height="xxx" src="http://www.yoururl.com/file.swf">
       ```
   
 * I am using flash for my header and working fine with links.
 * or probably problem with your main file, use absolute url for your links.
 *     ```
       ie http://url.com/forum  not /forum
       ```

 * That did not work, same thing happened. Any other suggestions?
 * Maybe it has something to do with the template?

 * OK i got it and I and here is what I did for all you that get this as well.
 * You need to use absolute path to flash files eg.
 * Do not use
    `http://www.url.com/blog/flash/flashmenu.swf`
 * Use
    `flash/flashmenu.swf`
 * Thats it!

 * Yes, that does work, BUT on the inner pages like category pages or post pages
   the header s not found.
 * That is pretty annoying 🙁
