Hi, when I am trying to replace images such as my logo on my site with a swf image it doesn't work it just throws random errors and loading issues at me, does anyone know how to make it work?

I'm good at coding in vb 3 but I am using vb 4 now and everythings changed in it's locations.

I prefer images or flash, just makes the site load slower.

and if I can use CSS instead of images than I use that instead.

Well there maybe some flash players out there that can read a local/remote image defined in a XML/TEXT file, but the the code will still have to be embedded.
 
Thanks Cory but that was kind of unrelated to my question, I have the automatic code what gets produced by Flash when you publish the image but I am unsure exactly where to embed it. I'm also assuming I have way too much code?

Code: 
    <head>
        <title>Untitled-1</title>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
        <style type="text/css" media="screen">
        html, body { height:100%; background-color: #ffffff;}
        body { margin:0; padding:0; overflow:hidden; }
        #flashContent { width:100%; height:100%; }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="flashContent">
            <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="652" height="113" id="Untitled-1" align="middle">
                <param name="movie" value="Untitled-1.swf" />
                <param name="quality" value="high" />
                <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
                <param name="play" value="true" />
                <param name="loop" value="true" />
                <param name="wmode" value="window" />
                <param name="scale" value="showall" />
                <param name="menu" value="true" />
                <param name="devicefont" value="false" />
                <param name="salign" value="" />
                <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
                <!--[if !IE]>-->
                <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="Untitled-1.swf" width="652" height="113">
