My head a splode! Ok, 1) I am a newbie, 2)I have searched the forums 3)I still don’t get it. I would think this would be simple… I have a swf file consisting of 10 frames. It is essentially a navigation bar with nine buttons. Clicking a button goes to a new page. So now that page calls the same swf file (it is pretty small, like 8K), but I would like it to still have the last button clicked highlighted so users will know where they are. Is there a simple solution for this? I am about to resort to just making 9 different swf files. I have the buttons controlling some dynamic layers too, so I need to keep that.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I will slap on my file if it helps…

after your head gets done “a-sploding” can you rewrite that post in english?  
😉  
are you loading swf’s into your flash movie? or are you loading a new html page (when you click on a button)?

The latter, I am just using the one swf file (the attached file) and am including it in each html page as such:

```auto

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" name="meganav" width="655" height="25" id="meganav">
<param name="movie" value="/080904images/megabutton.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="/080904images/megabutton.swf" width="655" height="25" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="meganav" swliveconnect="true"></embed>
</object>

```
