Loading techniques - question

1

I was wondering about the various methods of loading a site. I was browsing the SOTW’s and I came upon one that I remember seeing a long time ago. www.donshaw.com <–i noticed that the navigation at the top seems to load the content via a frame. Because what I want to accomplish in my site is interweaving flash and static pages into one design. Meaning, i want the navigation to be flash and stay on top (like on donshaw) but I want to be able to put flash or html in the content area. anyone have any ideas as to how I can accomplish this.

Also, how are movies aligned in the content area. Meaning, if its calling on different .swf’s for the different parts of the movie, how do you get them to line up?

I’m new to flash, pardon my newby questions.

That’s pretty simple, you’ll need to use frames, 2 would be what you need. The top frame will contain your nav and the lower frame will be where the content pages are loaded into.

To link your flash nav to the lower frame you would apply script like this to your nav button:

on (release) {
	getURL("blah.html", "content");
}

That would load a page called blah.html into the frame called “content” which is the lower frame. To learn more about frames, check out www.funky-chickens.com
