  I currently have several photos uploaded as potential headers that are set to random, but I am not loving the stilted transition and the fact that it does not always change when clicked. I would like to create a slideshow for the header out of all of these photos. I created a flash slideshow, but I cannot figure out how to upload that as my header, as it does not seem to allow any kind of html entry in that area of the blog. Is there any way I can change this, or is there a theme that would allow me to do this without uploading a flash file?

  The random header image for Twenty Eleven is not really a slideshow – it just shows a different image every time you load the page.

  You can achieve this effect by creating a post with a slideshow and setting it to be sticky – read more about these two options here:
