avoid reloading flash movie

Hello,

I've created a Flash movie with animation as a header for my website. This movie is embedded into my "header.html" file which is called by every page on the site (by way of PHP).

Is there a way that I can have this movie only load on the first page the user visits, and then have the movie stay at its last frame whenever the user goes to another page (as opposed to reloading every time a new page is loaded?

I hope I made this clear, and that I'm in the most appropriate forum. Thank you for any help!

Elie

Yeah you could re-export the flash file as a gif or jpg. Then on all other pages on the website have it load the still image that you exported with you swf. Or method two which I am not fond of, you could make a stop(); action and have two swf's one still, and one not. But I would discourage this method as it would increase file size for no reason!

Yep, not going to be able to do this with just 1 flash file. What I would do if I were you is just make 2 headers. One with the flash in it and one with the still image. Then call the appropriate one on each page.

If that is not an option(for some reason) you can always pass a variable across pages (called Querystrings in ASP not sure about PHP) and check to see what the value is. If it it's value = home then execute code for animation, if it's value != home then execute code for still image.

Hope that makes sense, because I am not a PHP programmer, but I do mean to learn.
