I have inserted a flash menu into the html pages in my website. I am using the same swf file and ebedding a variable name in each page eg. “menu.swf?x=about”.  
I then use a conditional statement in the actionscript to determine which page i am on eg  
else if (x == “about”)  
{  
mc\_menu.home.scaleX = -49.3;  
mc\_menu.about.\_alpha = 50;  
}…  
All is working well except when you click a button to change html pages - the page flashes and jumps. Also in IE i have to click the button twice.  
The code behind the button is;  
on (release) {  
getURL(“index.html”);  
}  
I would appreciate any help!
