can anyone solve my external php problem?

Hello all, I have a scenario I'm trying to find a solution to, and I keep getting myself in deeper and deeper until my head hurts. Perhaps someone can help me.

I am currently making a site using the open source cms 'Joomla' but making my own templates etc. The site is for a band and I have a flash animation for the header and a music player (all in flash) on the page, and for this reason, I do not want the page to reload. What I want to do is have a different php feed come up when I clikc different nav buttons.

I have considered using layers with the timeline palette in Dreamweaver, but they don't seem to be very browser compliant from what I understand. I have also considered ajax,iframes and tables, but all these would mean that my background iamge would clash.

What I thought might be a possiblity but don't knoe enough about php to know for sure is this.. the links to each content looks sometihng like this
'index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5&Itemi d=9' .. obviously the index.php part is causing the whole page to reload, but is there a way to use the info after 'option=com_content...' etc to change the cotnent without reloading the page?

Anyone have any ideas? Many thanks.
