Default Flash Logo & Navigation

I have a site which is not yet integrated, visually, between a few html pages and my vBulletin site. To address this I have a need to do the following in the very short term:
(1) Replace a GIF logo at the top of my vBulletin site with a Flash version (a Flash developer is helping me create this now and I have not yet seen it).
(2) Introduce a new navigation bar that appears in same location across html and vBulletin pages alike (Flash-based preferred for navbar).
I suspect that #1 is very simple - edit the header template and replace GIF link with SWF link, or something like that.

I am a little fuzzy on how to actually implement the second item such that the new navbar appears at the top (or maybe left-hand side) outside of the vBulletin stuff. I suspect that, however we actually do it, we will probably need to retain the vBulletin navbar as a secondary navbar for the more forum-specific areas.

Does #2 necessarily entail introducing new code to my vB templates, or can I "wrap" something around my vBulletin site?

I am looking for a solution that is simple and elegant, if that is at all a possibility. Links to existing documentation on this subject and examples of similar implementations would be *very* appreciated, as well as any general suggestions etc.

Many thanks in advance; hopefully I summed my goals up OK.

You can do this by using the conditions in templates en passing flashvars to your flashobject. We have something similair on our forum with no probs, just make sure you also pass the sessions (if any) to you flash object.

On a big board you have to consider; the loading of an activex plugin can slow down the overall clientside loading of a webpage, and always include a alternate image for people that don't have the flash plugin installed (that is if you decide to replace the standard navbar completely).
