Hello,

My web site is composed of a Flash navigation bar and the main page as HTML. On the Flash navigation bar, each time I clicked on a link button (“about me” or “contact us” for example), the Flash just keeps reloading. It is quite annoying. Is there a way to fix this? I thought that once it is stored in the cache of the web browser, the Flash should not be reloaded each time.

Thank you  
Jacques

It’s probably because the action you have on the button is calling an entire new HTML page with the flash menu embedded, making everything reload. Instead, go learn about \<iframe\>'s and then have the flash button call the HTML content into the \<iframe\> by giving it the property name=“SOMETHING” and then the flash button should have target=“NAME OF IFRAME” and then it will work. If you do that, then the only thing ever changing is the content inside the iframe, and the main page and therefor the embedded flash menu will stay constant. Let me know if that works…
