Hello people, I have set up a website using frames (leftframe [nav], mainframe [main display], topframe [logo & hopefully another nav bar].... all is well with the links via the left nav bar. However..... I am using *.swf files (generated code and not coded by me) to do the navigation so I cannot edit the code to place a dedicated nav bar for each link. My question is... say after clicking my downloads link, the downloads page loads in the mainframe, can I then add some code in the downloads.htm that will place another *.swf type dedicated nav bar and associated code (held between <object> commands in html)? Not knowing about html, javascript, flash, etc., how can I point to my topframe from my downloads.htm and how can I place the new and dedicated nav bar in the topframe? Example of the nav bar code is thus.... <OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" Please note that this is only a section of code, but I see no real way of controlling it. Any code required to point this lot to my topframe needs to direct everything within the <object> command thinggies. Any help, advice, code, etc., is most welcome. Many thanks in advance......

First off... lose the Flash navigation. That is just plain silly. Flash navigation should be used only for Flash unless you're really good. Anyone who would code Flash navigation for a site, and especially a frames based site, need a good smack in the head. However, to fix it, make sure all the links in the Flash have a target attribute and that the target points to the right place, i.e. frame. If you can't code, who convinced you to use Flash for navigation? Fire them.

The menu you currently have, can be pretty much done the same way with javascript mouse over images. You should only use flash where its absolutelty needed in my opinion. |

I think it's been absolutely needed about 4 times in the history of the world. ------------- 
Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me. |

Can everyone display mouseovered images that use java.... can this not be disabled? If so what happens to the navigation then? Blade328 |
