Flash menu links only work once

[justadivageek]

I am a newbie to falsh - I created a flash header for my site, but the wierd thing is that it only seems to work once and then the rest of the hyperlink buttons fail to work...

Has anyone heard of this before?
Any ideas on how to fix it?

Here's the site - its the main nav

It could be anything but one possibility is to do with your server set up - do not mix

No, it doesn't have to do with the server, it has to do with ActiveX working with IE, certainn versions had it shut off due to some legal disagreement.

Certain versions of IE7 prompt you to "Click to activate the ActiveX controller"

I need to find a way to work around this so that people that don't have the latest version can use the navigation

Kenneth, I don't understand your statement "do not mix

No, the active content issue is not related to your problem. However, use SWFObject

http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/

to overcome the prompt - although Microsoft has already removed the prompt after sorting out the legal disputes.

About my post, you should not mix with and without "www" in your URLs used in Flash. You are using full absolute path in HTML object/embed code with "www" and for buttons in Flash without "

http://www".

I would use relative paths for all of them.
