Stop Flash movie restarting on each page

[Guest]

Hi Chaps,

I have a website that uses the same flash movie in the header in each page.

Problem is that the flash movie restarts once the new page has loaded.

Is there a way of playing the movie, without restarting, other than using something like frames or iframe?

Cheers

Samuel

you could... turn the autoplay option off on the pages you don't want it to play on load.

you could... store a cookie that the flash movie will use to determine if it was already seen.

you could... create a flash movie designed for internal pages that functions differently (i.e. doesn't show an annoying splash montage)

you could... use images instead for internal pages that replicate key functionality without flash

you could... remove flash from your website all together if it's unnecessary

you could... wrap the flash code in an if else statement that looks for a session created on the homepage, by which all future views sitewide will choose the alternative flash verision

... i'm sure there's more of them
