First flash web menu

Hi,

i’ve seen a lot of templates which are done using flash and especially the menu and the main picture of the website.

however, as they are templates, i do not know if clicking on a menu item, will display a new web page with exactly the same flash menu + picture, or if it is more common to change this flash menu (main page, usually index.html) by a static menu (avoiding the flash to restart from the scratch) ?

thanks a lot,

A.

PS : sorry for post crossing but i did not where is the best place for posting…
