Hi there…

I’ve spent last four hours looking for some ways of implementing flash menu in xhtml page, but I couldn’t find any satisfying answers. What I would like is to have some opinions on how to make it in the most efficient and clean way, since I don’t like making things dirty. I don’t think it’s necessary to load the whole pages, since the header, menu and footer will be the same on every page. Also I want the button of the menu item clicked to stay highlighted while the new content is loaded, thus I want to avoid reloading the menu. And the last demand is for the pages to be linkable (i mean a unique url address for each page). I’m opened to implementing php or java script or any other technology, although i don’t really used them before. I’d rather spend some time learning new stuff than creating some slow workarounds.

I will be glad for any insight on the topic. Also if the proposed solution using something other than flash and xhtml I would appriciated some tutorial links (but of course just pointing me in the right direction is perfect enough).

P.S.: Pardon me for possible mistakes in my english 😉
