Flash links making loaded pages "flash" during load-up

Hi there,

The site I’m working on is nearly finished. I can’t figure one last thing out though.

When you click on the links on the left (made in flash), then entire page seems to reload, which creates a “flashing” efftect.

However, if you click on the company name (a jpg image w/ an href) on the top of the page, the whole site doesn’t seem to reload or “flash”.

Anyone know why, or how i can get the Flash created links to get the same result as the href link?

Here’s the coding (i’m using dreamweaver and Flash MX2004)

for the flash buttons:

on (release) {
getURL(“n_profile.htm”);
}

for the href link on the logo above:
<area shape=“rect” coords=“17,16,428,61” href=“n_profile.htm”>

Thanks so much in advance for any help you can give me. My Bonus is resting on this, and my hair is almost completely torn out of my head! this has to be something so simple i’m overlooking.
