Q:

Replacing header in Flexviewer

Will the index.html swf need to be re-compiled in order to embed the flexviewer app in between a html header and footer wrapper?  Or it this perhaps handled in the HeaderControllerWidget.mxml?

A:

To answer your two questions:
No, it doesn't have to be re-compiled.
No, it's not handled in HeaderController.
Editing the HTML file is a good idea (like Brad mentioned in his answer).  We showed an example of that at the Esri Developer Summit a few months ago.  Just take care to edit both default.htm and index.html (or know which one your web server defaults to).
