I am trying to create a better header for my theme on smf forum, and wish to embed a quite complex flash movie that acts as a menu in they style of the tabs on the apple mac site.

I saw you used flash and you also use javascript to get it there.

My problem is with or without JS I do not really know what I am doing in terms of where to put the code

</object>

or how to enclose it ( is it echo ' either side, what does echo ' actually do?).

If I put it in the JS do I need to trim some of it off?

I am hoping you can help

I'm not the Java guru , but I did  find this for you, maybe it will help.

An ApplicationInstance represents the state of the user interface of a single user. Every user who visits an Echo application will have his/her own unique instance. Echo will store the ApplicationInstance in the servlet container's user session, so the instance will be available until the user exits the application or the session times out due to inactivity.
