Refresh whole page besides Flash

[AMparanoia]

Hi All,

I'm building a website using divs instead of the buggy frames but i've got a problem.

The site is just one page containing PHP and Div's and within 1 of the divs is a flash menu. My problem is that because it refreshes the whole page also flash refreshes when you click on a button, so i lose my animation and button state. Now I wonder, is there anyway to refresh the complete page besides the flash menu and without using frames?

I know i can use variables to set the button state to active or not, but i just want to continously keep my animations going on without refreshing the flashmenu in the page. It seems it can't be done, or can it?

Any help or tips will be much appreciated!

EDIT: I've uploaded the site here, so you can take a look at what i mean:

I believe that you could contrive to use javascript to reload everything else (I wouldn't know how to do it though), if that's what you want. Seems like a lot of effort though.

Thx for the tip! Is this really possible? Anybody out there with somewhat more concrete info about this?

I wouldnt suspect this to be possible without some hacking or workarounds. HTML frames would probably be the easiest solution. :-/

just found this topic...used the wrong search words first :)

Is it also possible to turn this around. Only tell which tabel/cell not to refresh...would be much easier.

Anyone?

thats not refreshing so much as changing its content. If you're only dealing with a table cell, then that might be the way to go.
