Hi, I'm planning to rewrite my site ( link ) from scratch. Currently its layout is written using framesets; I'd like to get rid of those framesets, and use CSS instead as I find this way of working much cleaner.

The problem now is, how do I prevent my Flash-menu from reloading and displaying the intro-animation whenever I click a link. (As an example, found a site that has the same problem: link )

I already asked the very same question at another forum and this is what I've got so far:
- Use php such that the site can remember whether you've seen the intro animation of the flash menu or not... (Can't do much with this solution since my host does not provide php support.)
- Make the flash-menu store some kind of cookie at the client's computer. The Flash menu can now figure whether you've seen the intro animation of the menu or not.
- Just let the Flash-menu on the site's first page have the intro-animation; on all other pages you show the menu without the intro-animation.

All of these solutions already prevent the intro-animation when it should, but don't prevent the reloading of the Flash-menu each time you click a link. I wonder whether anyone here might have got a better idea?
