# How Replace image with Flash Animation

 * I have just installed a new template which has an image on the index page of 
   a bridge at night (check it out:[http://site-hero.com](http://site-hero.com))
   The thing is I want to replace this image with a flash animation I have but I
   am a complete novice with code, I can just about understand what I’m reading 
   but editing is a big No No for me. I already have the WP-SWFObject installed 
   on the blog as you can see I have managed to put the animation in a post. So 
   can somebody tell me (in childlike simplicity) how I would change this image.
   This is the code I believe I need to put in somewhere but I don’t know where:
   **
   <?php wp_swfobject_echo(“MY ANIMATION URL.swf”, “400”, “280”); ?>**
 * Also to help here is the code I have cut from the main index template (the file
   name for the image that I want to change is “mainimage”):
    **<?php get_header();?
   >**
 *  <div id=”content”>
    <div id=”contentleft”>
 *  <div class=”blogpostwrapper”>
    <div id=”mainimage”> <img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘
   template_directory’); ?>/images/mainimage.jpg” class=”mainimage” alt=”Main image”
   title=”Main image” /> </div>
 *  <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
 *  <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
 *  <div class=”blogpost”>
    <div class=”blogtitle”> <h2>” rel=”bookmark” title=”
   Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
   </div> <div class=”datetab”> <div class=”blogdate”> <?php the_time(‘jS F’) ?>
   </div> <div class=”blogdateyear”> <?php the_time(‘Y’) ?> </div> </div> <div class
   =”blogauthor”> written by <? the_author(); ?> </div> <div class=”blogcontent”
   > <?php the_content(); ?> <div class=”blogtags”> <?php the_tags( ‘Tags: ‘, ‘,‘,”);?
   > </div> </div> <div class=”blogdivide”> </div> <div class=”blogstrip”> <div 
   class=”blogcomments”> <?php comments_popup_link(‘0 Comments’, ‘1 Comment’, ‘%
   Comments’); ?> </div> <div class=”blogcategory”> <?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?> 
   </div> </div> </div> <?php endwhile; ?> <div id=”paging”> <?php $previous = get_bloginfo(‘
   template_directory’); ?> <div id=”alignright”><?php next_posts_link(‘<img src
   =”‘ . $previous . ‘/images/previous.png” alt=”Previous” title=”Previous” />’)?
   ></div> <div id=”alignleft”><?php previous_posts_link(‘<img src=”‘ . $previous.‘/
   images/next.png” alt=”Next” title=”Next” />’) ?></div> </div> <?php else : ?>
   <h2 class=”center”>Not Found</h2> <p class=”center”>Sorry, but you are looking
   for something that isn’t here.</p> <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . “/searchform.
   php”); ?> <?php endif; ?> </div> </div> <?php get_sidebar(); ?> </div> <?php 
   get_footer(); ?>
 * Sorry this is such a LOOOOONGG post Hope someone can help me.
