I’ve made a flash navigation bar for my website. It has smooth animations that occur after the user clicks the bar’s buttons to load a new page. Problem is, when the new page loads, the smooth flash animation is interrupted, and flickers because the flash navigation bar is also reloaded. How can I embed the flash navigation bar in such a manner as to have it stay persistent, and not reload, even though the user travels to a different page.

I’m open to any solution (PHP, Javascript, HTML, or whatever) except for frames and a full flash site.

Here’s a link to my nav bar: http://www.liquid-graphics.net/testbanner01.php
Problem: the moving arrow will be interrupted when loading a new page.

Maybe setting a query string on the url, reading it with flash and then stopping the movie if the query string is present or go directly to a frame. include_once() in php may also work.

Include_Once doesn't work. And passing variables with the flash frame won't work either because the SWF will still reload, and thus cause blinking, when if it shows the proper frame of the animation afterwords. Any other ideas?
