Thanks for the feedback, DLM. I was aware that "everything opens in a new
and different tab" from the home page but I don't know a way of using a
"_self" hyperlink to stay in the same window as the opening Flash animation
without having to reopen the box everytime. I included menu bars on most
pages to avoid returning each time but it's still irritating.

This obviously isn't a Flash forum but if anyone knows of a way of
Actionscripting Flash to tell it to skip certain frames when someone
returns to a page, I would like to know. Mixing Flash with HTML gets
complicated (especially with all the annoying roadblocks Microsoft puts in
the way). HTML is easier but limited so that it's almost better to do
the whole site in Flash.
