As default Blogger doesn't support flash headers. In the next tutorial you will learn how to have a flash header on your Artisteer made template. Let's start.

1. Log in to your dashboard--> Design- -> Edit HTML

2. Click on "Expand Widget Templates"

3. Search "Ctrl+F" and search for /* end Header */ . Right after it add the next code:

/* begin Flash */
#art-flash-area
{
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
width: 900px;
height: 230px;
overflow: hidden;
}
#art-flash-container
{
position: absolute;
top: -16px;
left: 0px;
width: 900px;
height: 233px;
}
#art-flash-container div.art-flash-alt
{
position: relative;
width: 110px;
height: 30px;
margin: 0 auto;
top: 16px;
}
/* end Flash */

Change the values of width, height, margins etc according to your header dimensions.

4. Now find :


/* begin Box, Sheet */
        .art-sheet, .art-sheet-body
        {
          zoom: 1;
        }
        
        .art-sheet-tr, .art-sheet-tl, .art-sheet-br, .art-sheet-bl, .art-sheet-tc, .art-sheet-bc,.art-sheet-cr, .art-sheet-cl

and above him paste the following code:

/* begin Flash */

/* end Flash */

5. For the next step you will need to find:

</b:widget>
</b:section>
    <script type='text/javascript'>
    //<![CDATA[
        var showHeader = true;
    //]]>
    </script>

and right before it paste the next code:

        <!--[if !IE]>-->
        </object>
        <!--<![endif]-->
    </object>
    </div>
    </div>
    <script type='text/javascript'>//<![CDATA[
        swfobject.switchOffAutoHideShow();
        swfobject.registerObject("art-flash-object", "9.0.0", "expressInstall.swf");
    //]]></script>

Replace the red links with you own link to your flash header (recommend Google Sites for hosting the flash), and the blue lines with your header size.

Save the template and see the results.
