Hello, I am new to flash and this is my firt post. I am working on a new site [http://www.leeardern.com/~turbo](http://www.leeardern.com/~turbo) I have built a flash navigation bar which works but for some reason it keeps reloading the diary1.php page and I dont understand why. When i click on other pages it loads up the page but then reloads the diary1.php page. Anyone know why this is happening? I have uploaded the fla file @ [http://www.leeardern.com/~turbo/nav.fla](http://www.leeardern.com/~turbo/nav.fla) if anyone would like to have a look and see where i am going wrong. Cheers LeeLizard ---

Howdy and Welcome… You are missing very imporatnt command right after you used getURL() function… ```auto stop(); ``` Just put in on the second line… 😉 ---

I have placed a stop command after the get url but it is still reloading the diary1.php page repeatedly. I have attached my .fla file. Still cant figure out where i am going wrong. Lee ---

answer is even simplier then you think… just remove command getURL from main timeline and put there stop() command… 😉 that;s all ---

Um… I thought that he wants that PHP page loaded initially ONCE… and he needs getURL() function to do that… ---

in that case it should have worked… he pasted stop() into buttons i presume… ---

Yup… I know, but it does the same thing when I added stop() right after the getURL() in the main timeline… ☹ My only bet is to see if there is any meta tag or something that refreshes the screen in every second or something… ☹ ---

nope! i think, that he should add another layer called actions and add 2nd keyframe… in 1st frame getURL action, in 2nd - stop(); should work just fine
