  Old  Getting rid of frames

Hey guys, I hope this is the right place to be posting this question...

I've been designing sites using Flash & HTML for a number of years now, my most recent completions being:

www.andersonchiles.com
www.janegreer.co.uk
www.emotionalfreedom-training.co.uk

My main method of design is a nice animated nav/title bar header made in flash that sits in a frame at the top, and then HTML pages that sit in a frame below, see www.emotionalfreedom-training.co.uk for example.

It is only recently that I see that frames really aren't a good idea, and I should be using something like PHP include for my flash headers etc.

But the problem is that I don't understand how I can include a flash header that has a preloader and an opening animation for example, that when it change pages doesn't go through the start up procedure everytime.

So I visit the site, it loads and then displays a quick intro anim such as the buttons flying in etc, and then I click a link on the navbar. How do I stop the flash header from starting all over again on the next page? Is there a standard method for this that my google searches are missing or am I going about this the completely wrong way to begin with??

Thanks a lot,
-bbeckford

hello there.

i cant help you with this since i don't know how can i do that, but i have a comment for you
I click on your last link and i show a website without header. I was bored waiting for flash header to load.

If i would like to make a flash header with animation and menu, i would do 2 flies. The fist swf plain, with the menu only, and a link somewhere (inside the swf not in the page) like "intro" or something like that. If someone want to see the animation, he will press the intro link, and then you will load the second swf with the animation first and your menu at the end.

In my opinion this is the right way to do it because not all people wants to wait to load an animation.
