I have a site with Flash navigation in the top and an iframe in the middle. When the page first loads the center iframe plays a Flash movie that, when reaching a certain frame triggers the nav movie to play. Then the nav links change what's in the iframe.

When I refresh with Firefox the iframe refreshes the frame it is currently on which means that beginning movie doesn't play so the Nav movie doesn't get triggered leaving the top of the page void of a nav bar.

IE refreshed the whole page as if it were loading for the first time which is what I need to get the nav displayed. Is there a way to get Firefox to do this?

The quikest and dirty is way to get firefox to do this is to right click in the iframe and select This Frame -> Reload Frame. Not sure in older firefox but the current 1.5 it is there. This will reload just the iframe. So your flash so start up and then the second will go.

Technicly this is a feature of firefox. In a true browser the iframe is technicly a diffrent page and should act as such.

Hope this works for you.

The problem is not so much that it bothers me but users to the site may refresh and be left without navigation.

Is there a script or something that can change the behavior?

If you use javascript to set the source of the iframes onload that should solve the problem, example:

<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = setFrames;

function setFrames() {
document.getElementById('somename').src = "page.htm";
}
</script>

<iframe id="somename" src="page.htm"></iframe>

That script didn't do the trick. I'm going to start a new thread in the script section as it's more appropriate and just reference this one.
