Webmaster Forum / Flash / Flash Site Design / May 2007

Hello,
I am trying to use an 800px X 250px Flash object that I created as a header
graphic to be placed directly above my main horizontal menu.  I am placing this
object as a Server Side Include (SSI) at the top of every page in the site.

The problem I've been experiencing it that every time I select a link from the
main menu, the entire flash object glitches or disappears and reappears as the
new page is loading and it will do this every single time even if the link I'm
clicking on goes to a page that has already been loaded.

Surely there must be some kind of work around for this kind of behavior? Could
anyone help explain to me why this is happening and if there is anything I can
do about it?  I would like to have a bit of animation in my main header
graphic, but if it's going to glitch every time someone clicks on a link to
another page, then it seems pretty much useless and I'll have to go back to
using a static image instead.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Greg
