I’ve got this API loading on every page of the website. Can .SWF tell itself when it has loaded and thereby default to a loaded position? So that when a user moves to different web pages, the API defaults to its loaded point? NOT from scratch?

All the blurs and fade-ins are Methods that respond to a bunch of Timer Events. Once the .SWF is loaded how can it DEFAULT to its loaded point when a user changes web pages?

I know there would be a Javascript solution but is there an AS3 solution?

Many thanks. CC
