I am doing a dedication site that has music on it and I am wondering if anyone knows how to stop the music restarting as you navigate around with out using a frameset.

Ta muchly.

Use a "shell" swf to load all your content. The shell never gets unloaded, thus you can put an audio object in the shell to play your music. When you go to a new content section, you just use a movieClipLoader to load the new content swf into a holder within the shell swf.

Better to build sites like that even if you aren't using global audio.

Thanks Pax. This is not a flash site, just the music is flash. The rest is php.

Oh, you're out of luck then. You'd have to prevent flash from unloading. Unless you want to get seriously hardcore with it and store some data in a Shared Object (a flash cookie) so you can know the playhead position of the song you were last playing and restart it from there.

Other option, make a popup for the audio player. Thats not an uncommon practice. Purevolume.com does it if you want to navigate away from the current page.
