Hey, I designed a navigational header for my website in flash CS3. I got the links to link properly, but I also wanted to make it so that I could upload the flash file to the page and it would read the Title of the site and display it in the centered Title Block in the flash document.

I found something similar to what I want to do here at http://www.cssnewbie.com/intelligent-navigation/
He describes how to make the links he made appear active based on the url displayed in the address bar.

I need something similar for my flash program. I dont know if it's something I need to program into flash itself or into the HTML file. I have it loaded onto two of my pages so far.
The home page and about me page.

But with the current set up, I have the links in the flash go to a new frame with the appropriate Title when each button is clicked. But since I have not been able to figure out how to make my site without having to upload the same flash file into every page, the flash just resets to Welcome title despite which Page I have loaded.

I tried making a new version of the file that has a dynamic text block that would read the title, But I do not know the code to implement that.

Any help with this issue, or even a solution that I havent thought of, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
