I don’t want to resort to frames so I’m wondering if this is possible. I have an expanding menu on a php page, when user clicks on one of the menu items and the page reloads, the flash movie gets reload as well. I would like to keep it open to where it was, even if it reloads.

I’m using a modified version of Senoculars accordion menu and I thought the best way would be to pass a variable to the flash movie that tells it which menu the user clicked and so expand that menu.
