hi, i have a site that loads 1 of 3 swfs for navigation. The problem is that when a button is clicked the flash file refreshes. I only want the file to refresh if the browser is refreshed, not if a button is clicked in the file…

here’s the site:  
[www.pandoraultra.com](http://www.pandoraultra.com)

here’s my container script:

filename = [“nav\_red.swf”, “nav\_white.swf”, “nav\_gray.swf”];  
path = “[http://www.pandoraultra.com/navigation/](http://www.pandoraultra.com/navigation/)”;  
i = filename.length;  
k = Math.floor(Math.random()\*i);  
loadMovie(path+filename[k], movieTarget);

the main navigation is 1 of 3 swfs that loads, click any of the buttons and u will see the swf reload and a new file in its place.

How do i fix this?? Thanks for any help 🙂
