budedwards Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Is there a simple way to stop the Flash banner i have added reloading on every single page? I just wish it to play once on the main page and then the main image loaded for each additional page. Any help appreciated thanks I have access to the FTP and also Macromedia Flash 8 so can make adjustments to most files.
eastcoastsupremacy Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 theres really no easy way to do that. I would suggest embedding your flash banner on the page you want it to initially be on, and then for all other pages, simply use an image of the LAST FRAME of your flash movie. That's what ive done in the past, it saves server space and is quick and easy to load.

eastcoastsupremacy Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 well whatever page the user gets to FIRST would have the flash .swf.... and then any other page after that, you should just have a jpeg of the LAST FRAME of the swf movie there, so the movie loads once, and then on the other pages it stays the way it ended on the index.php. So to answer your question, yes, embed the .swf into the application_top.php, but for the other pages, you might want to make a seperate file, something like application_top_2.php, and have that file be loaded on all other pages except the index, and on that page you will just have an image embeded rather than a flash swf. Make sense? if not let me know i will try to explain differently.

I understand how to embed the SWF movie onto the application_top.php but am a little lost on creating a new application_top2.php and have that file loaded on all other pages Once again really appreciate your help :blush:
