Fflash navigation without using frames?

[lolailo]

I want to make a site with a flash navbar but want to stay away from frames if possible.

How do people do that?

What I mean is how do people do that without loading the flash movie with every new page?

I'm not sure if you can do that without frames but once the flash has loaded on the first time it doesn't need to download on the other pages as it will be in the visitors cache and will be served from there

You are right but that's not exactly my problem. What I want is to click on button "X" and when page "X" loads I want the Flash movie to continue with button "X" in a down state.

Thanks anyway for your help.

you could set it up so when button x is pressed, the page that is loaded has variable passed e.g.?pressed=x, and then use conditional statements in the flash to decide which button should be on.
