Need to develop a flash menu...

[crystalb24]

...that will auto-update based on what page is being viewed.

I have a flash menu that is conceptually designed to work as follows:

It's a 7 chevron menu - same menu on every page - with each chevron containing a link to the corresponding page. When page 1 is being viewed the corresponding chevron is shaded, etc..

Right now it is designed so that the flash menu calls on a text file to determine what page (and therefore what chevron) is to be affected.

Is there a way to have the asp page containing the flash file update the flash menu, either by having the flash file update automatically or by having the asp page update the text file, or anything else that I haven't considered?

you could try using the loadVars(); to get a querystring from asp.

1. get asp to tell flash what page its on in this format:
&thePage=thepage.asp

2. use the loadVars(); to get it into flash and say if this page = blah, then that shaded = true etc.

you might have to use the RGB(); function for this!
