Hello,

I have a flash header for my website, and regular html links (for seo purposes). I would like the html links when clicked to give instructions to the flash header about what to do.

Is this at all possible?

Thanks.

Sounds more of a flash question... Moving to Flash.

could you give an example of what flash is supposed to do?

it is possible, but probably not through html.
you can use in flash sendAndLoadVars to retrieve data from a php or html page, or you could make flash to read a txt or xml document, which contains the instructions what flash needs to do.

for more information on sendAndLoad Vars and xml-reading, take a look at the livedocs of flash:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com
or google for it.

Greetz and good luck,

PS: feel free to ask more information

Basically I have a flash header (reduced to a header for seo purposes). I am also having to reduce the header to just above the menu links, as google etc. does not seem to accept flash navigation as well. So now I have a flash header, javascript navigation menu, and html pages below that. What I need is for the flash header to slide from one image to the next (now like a slide show quick short one image to the next image, the image is one image, and slides from the left side to the right displaying different portions of the image). The slide needs to take place when the top level navigation link is clicked.

The navigation menu is a javascript menu to allow for a rollover affect. Just wondering if it's possible to have the menu still tell the slide show what to do.

if the page may be refreshed, it is possible. then you can, in combination with php or asp, tell flash what to do, and when.
if the page is supposed to be shown all the time, without refreshing, then you'll have to make the entire linkbar in flash. there's no other way.
