We have a pub and bar site in London UK. The site is 100% Flash 5 and we would like to begin adding food menus to the site. We want to build these food menus in HTML. The question is, how do we add a link to our food and drinks page (which is in flash 5) that will take somebody straight to a pubs food menu (in HTML) and can they return to the original Flash page that they came from. (Hope that makes sense). The site is [citypublife](http://www.citypublife.co.uk)

Hey, there if you want to link them through html you can.

Place one flash file (swf) in one page. Call it “firstpage.htm”  
So you should have one html page, with one swf in it.

Create a new page. Insert the menu and call it  
“menu.htm”

NOTE: make sure all files are kept in the same folder

Ok, this is the coding you should have on the buttons in your swf.

Make sure you have done the coding first before you place in Dreamweaver.

on (release) {  
getURL(“menu.htm”, “\_self”);  
}

If you want it to go back from the menu.html back to your flash page, create a link “mainmenu” in dreamweaver and link it back to your first page.

Thanks mate, you’ve been a great help. I will let you know when we get it done. By the way, you lot were dead lucky against us in the first test today. 79 all out is a joke.
