not sure i get the question. It s a Flash navigation, and an HTML body(with a notably ugly seem there, strangely) with some Flash elements. Nothing special really. They probably used page frames to cahnge the HTML part, and then of course the Flash nav stays the same. The whole site is really on one page.
It has also been designed very nicely, and doesn't look like a Flash window, but rather a normal page, but that's just a matter of designing your Flash doc to have the edges seamless to the HTML background.
The site is nicely designed. A 2advanced site, is it?
Anyway, HTH
cheers

ok, well ive done that - put the flash nav on one frame, and the info goes in the mainframe - but how do i tel the flash buttons to open the page into the mainframe target. like, in dreamweaver, you tel the button to open the page - and then set the target to "mainframe" to make it go in the desired frame, how do you do this with flash buttons?
thanks

If you're running frames, try this (disclaimer: I haven't tried it from a flash movie):
getURL("javascript:window.open("blah.swf","blah","height=y width=y");");
Just name the target frame "blah".

It seems to me that rather than using Javascript it is easier just to use the "Window" property in the property inspector? Just insert the frame name in the box and you should bbe good to go - the action script will end up looking like:
on (release) {
getURL("whatever.htm", "_windowname");
}
That should be much easier than using Javascript for every button, though maybe I am missing something...

Good call...I don't know what I was thinking there.

Sometimes I actionscript myself into the hardest possible solution. Thats how it goes.

I take it you just converted a stroke to a movieclip and gave it an instance name, and then just used it for the target?
GilesW - 26 Dec 2003 04:07 GMT
no, ive just made a little flash movie, and put it on an html page. :)

clever. :)
So, are you loading multiple HTML pages? Because if you load a new HTML page then the Flash will refresh, and you won't really be able to get the two(flash section and HTML body) to correspond without making seperate Flash movies for every HTML page.
Anyways, GL
and Merry Christmas [it's still Christmas day :) ]

well, it doesnt really mater that much, all the flash movies are, are banners for the page, and the nav should load fast enough.

Hi!
While working on my website, I had the same question about integrating HTML and Flash. Just use a getURL action. The target must have the name of the frame you want your page to open in.
on (release) {
getURL("Whatever.htm", "mainFrame");
}
I used this code in my Articles page (www.ivotestyle.com/Articles.htm....or you can access this page by pressing the button "Articles" on the book page at www.ivotestyle.com/ThoughtsInWords.htm ) .

It's impossible to put an html page into flash. =).

> is it just a flash movie, and its the way they....I don't know :(
Just "right click" on various parts of the page to see what it is, then
"view source" (if it is not Flash).

better be careful designing a site in over 50% Flash. Over 60% of web users are still on 56K. The skyworksinc site you reference is real slow to load on dialup. So much so I feel it would have lost a large percent ov viewers.
At least check for connection speed and redirect to HTML if under 128K...
My opinion only, I'm certain there are those that disagree.
