Flash Header with FrontPage w/out Reload

[Samy]

I have a Flash header at www.medyx.com. But, each time a button is
clicked, the Flash is reloaded. That can be a pain. What can I do?

 

[Theresa Bennett]

The problem is in the actionscript of your Flash file buttons. When the
buttons are clicked, the script should 'go to and play' on a frame that
loops a clip instead of restarting the whole movie. Contact the Flash
designer for a fix.

What is meant by creating a static banner?

Since the Flash header is called each time a page is loaded, the only
solution is to make a static banner for all pages except you home page,
unless you can find a solution on Macromedia's Flash web site.

No Flash, just a plain image for all other pages that looks the same as the
flash banner and use JavaScript for the mouseover effects.

In such case, when the user returns to the homepage, the Flash movie
will reload, yes?

Yes.

do?

it's not the buttons that have the target, it's the base reference of the
page the flash file is on.
how did you come about being in possession of this site?

 

[chris leeds]

wow. 285K is a pretty big file for dial up folks.
my suggestion to put it in frames was to prevent having to change the
targets of the flash.
if you copy a page that works and erase everything but that flash header, or
if that header is on it's own page just use that for the content of your top
frame.

Thanks for the reply. If I make the framed site, where the Flash
Header is frame named "Header" and the content section is named
"Body", what should the buttons in Flash MX direct to using the getURL
action?

Also, I was trying to make the header is one frame and the content is
the other, but it is difficult to make them line up across the center.
Also, can I use inline frames (IFrame) to accomplish this), because
then I could just have the IFrame header inside its current table. If
so, how?

Right now, each button is like:

on (release) {
getURL("contactus.html");
}


Sincerely,
Sammy
