Web question

1

OK, I have a website already done in FrontPage. I want to keep everything the same except the menu bars. I am re-doing those in Flash MX. Once I have those done;

  1. How and where do I insert them into the webpage? and…

  2. How do I get it to link to a page within the site (in other words, have the menu and stuff stay there, but open up a new window within the existing browser). I know I will have to add something to the end of the URL, but don’t really know what it is.

Thanks for all your help.

If it’s allready built - a table at the location you want the Nav to appear would be in order

…but…

This Nav won’t stay there, as the content changes
so will the nav in your table
unless you re-build using Frames…

a top frame to hold your Nav and header stuff, and the lower (rest of page?) to do the changing.
A sepparate HTML (w/URL) for each content change - your btn’s would have to “getURL” targetting to your lower frame for each one… each html page having a unique name and therefore unique path to go into the URL

…did I help, or screw you up further ???

Right.

To put the Flash menu in your page, I would suggest using frames, as Reland has said above. Divide your HTML page into two frames, one for the content, one for the nav. Label each frame with a relevant name.

In the nav frame, create a page to hold the menu. All you have to do is embed the movie into the page. There should be a menu option or button to do this. Sorry, I’m not familiar with Front Page. :slight_smile:

Then you can load your first page of content into the second frame. But remember, in your Flash movie, whenever you have given a link, you will need to make sure that you specify the content frame as the target. So your getURL function also includes the location of the main body, whatever you called this frame. :slight_smile:
