animated web flash menu

[rafnews]

Hi,

i'm finishing my animated web flash menu and i only have 1 step more before ending it.
My menu is multi language and has a preloader.

Everytime that user change menu language, my PHP page should be reloaded in order to change also the language on PHP code, however it reload also the preloader and the main menu movieclip.

I would like to know how all of you who have created such thing, solved this problem ?

basically in order to not reload the preloader + main movie, i was thinking to change PHP code in order to call the preloader with a parameter telling to main movie to start only from frame XY.

but i do not know if it is the best solution.

therefore i would like to have your opinion and suggestion about it.

thanks a lot,

A.

just for adding info.

Basically my main movie consists of 40 frames, during which ones several animation are performed.

if i play directly from frame 35, i guess everything before this frame will not appear on stage, no ?

thx.

Maybe use a sharedObject?
