I want to use iframe for a music player (flash)... is there a way to make it so it is fixed on everypage as in it doesn't reload everytime like a frame that way the music doesn't get interupted...

I don't know for certain, but I would have to assume not, as the iframe is a child of the <html> document that must be loaded, unlike a standard frameset where each frame loads independently from the other....

Alright I don't know if this will work but you can try it.

Create your main page like so
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>A simple frameset document</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET cols="100%" rows="100%">
<FRAME src="inner.html">
</FRAMESET>
<!-- all your stuff to embed the flash object here -->
</HTML>

Now inner.html is your "real" main page. What this does is make the page a frame but the inner page is the only thing you see.

bit: That's a pretty kludgy workaround. Kinda takes me back to the nineties...



[EDIT: come to think of it, though, that might be the only way... ]

But won't that make it invisible? Or am I missing something....?

I would assume that you would want to be able to see the controls.

Hmm, yeah, the only way I can think of to accomplish this is to use regular old frames. Get two frames, put the page in one and the controls in the other.

Unless there's some kinda fancy DHTML solution for this...

Again I'm not an expert but you should be able to put the controls on every page and then control the main movie with javascript calls to the top page element

top.document.FlashMovie.fastForward();

or something like that I only know enough flash to make myself dangerous

KARN: The 2 solutions that spring to mind are:

1. Make it so the rest of the page is in the iframe/frame not the Flash player - as detailled above.

2. Put it in a popup window.

I'd probably go with 2.
