 * I have a site using wordpress and it has a flash banner in the header.
 * The problem I’m having is that the flash only shows up on the home page when 
   using permalinks.
 * The permalink being used is /%category%/%postname%/
 * If the permalinks are removed the flash will run on ever page.
 * the code for the flash is as follows:
 *     ```
       <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="623" height="244">
         <param name="movie" value="http://www.evolution-photography.co.uk/wp-content/themes/corelab/slide_flash8.swf" />
         <param name="quality" value="high" />
         <embed src="http://www.evolution-photography.co.uk/wp-content/themes/corelab/slide_flash8.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="623" height="244"></embed>
       </object>
       ```
   
 * I assume its the link in here that needs editing but I don’t know what with?

 * I tried doing this instead but it pretty much had the same problem.

       <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="623" height="244">
         <param name="movie" value="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/slide_flash8.swf" />
         <param name="quality" value="high" />
         <embed src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/slide_flash8.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="623" height="244"></embed>
       </object>
       ```
   
 * This problem seems quite unique, several days of searching the web hasnt revealed
   any answers so if anyone out there has a flash component and uses wordpress permalinks
   i’d be very grateful for some information! I’m really stuck here.

 * You’re running into this issue because of relative paths.
    Add a base h ref in
   your header file just before </head> tag.
 *     ```
       <head>
       <base href="http://www.yoursite.com/" />
       </head>
       ```
   
 * This should fix your issue.
 * Thanks,
