Hi, I tried to create a series of Flash Buttons for a navigation bar in the template. It prompts me to copy the flash files to the HTML folders. When I did that, it screwed up my links.
Anyone face the same problem and found the solution?
Cheers
Francis

Hi
The problem with links in flash movies is that you have to specify the full URL because the link is actually embedded into the movie.
If you use myfolder/myfile as the link then when you move the flash movies or the pages they are linking to they will not work (unless the directory structure is exactly the same)
So when you make your Flash buttons make sure you use the full url for the links
ie. mysite.com/myfolder/myfile
