Force a Refresh to a swf file

Hi All

I'm using a .png Menu/Sub Menu from FireWorks to go to a particular swf file and then to an anchor within the swf file.

But when I click on the same menu item and different sub menu item it doesn't go to another anchor within the same swf file. If I navigate away and then click fresh on the link that didnt work, it works.

It seems to think it's at the right place and ignores the link.

Is there a way to get the browser of flash file to think it's had a new request? If that makes sense?

it makes more sense that your coding is faulty. you need to load enough of that other swf so the "anchor" frame is loaded before trying to goto that frame.

does it work correctly when you click the first menu/submenu item?

I can load the whole swf file and navigate through it with buttons and links, no problem.

I can go to any anchor within the file from a sub menu link but when I've loaded any anchor from the submenu, the links from the sub menu no longer do anything.

I'm not actually loading any other swf's from the sub menu, they are just links to anchors in one swf file.

use the trace function to see if you submenu buttons call their listener functions after the first anchor is reached.
