I've made a Flash navigation bar that I'd like to integrate into my HTML website. Problem is, I need this nav bar to stay persistant even though the user gets directed to various HTML pages. I can't have the bar reloading everytime the user loads a new page because animations will be in mid-stream, and I don't want to abruptly interrupt them. How can this done smoothly?

Here's my nav bar: http://www.liquid-graphics.net/leogura_banner_02.html

A frameset?

That's not very helpful. Could you elaborate?

A frameset is an html page divided in frames...

In your case, it could be a top frame in which you'd embed your Flash navigation movie, and a large bottom frame in which you'd load up your other html pages... That way, your top frame's content is always the same, only the bottom frame's content changes...

Okay, I see, but then my banner would always stay up top, even when I scroll the content portion of the page. Let me ask you this, could I make use of PHP to embed the Flash banner, and have it stay persistent throughout the various HTML pages? If so, I think that'd be a better method.

Wasn't that the idea?

PHP to embed the Flash banner...

Don't know anything about that!

The banner should function similar to the one on top of this forum site, except with smooth animations for rollover and onpress events. When you scroll down, the banner should disappear.

if you beginner use frameset it easy. If you know haw to shoot variables back and forth you can go with php header and motin interact each time new page loaded

If resorted to PHP, but the solution still elludes me. If I include the flash navigation bar (using PHP include function) in my HTML, the navigation bar still reloads and the animation is interupted when I follow any of the links in my nav bar.

Is there a way to make the nav bar persistant, and have it NOT reload, even though the rest of the page does?

Nope

every time you loading new content in IE, it's start from ziro.

the only way you can do in new loaded movie in new page-> start animation according server respond :

Expl: from "home" link you went to "about", after swf file loaded in new window it can start animation from "From:Home To:About"

Frameset or possibly Iframe for content...

but from seeing the number of problems people are facing with target loading in a frameset, ASP 3 screwed it all.:(
