If a user hits Refresh/Reload/F5/CTRL-R/CTRL-SHIFT-R then they are asking their browser, at the very least, to reload that HTML page and all its components from the local cache. CTRL-SHIFT-R will go one stage further and re-request the page and all its components direct from the source web server. Expecting flash to remember exactly where it was when the user requests a reload is a bit like asking your CD to remember where it stopped at when you hit the eject button and reloaded the CD. Its also, in most case, something your user doesn't want to happen. How would you like it if you had to listen to a CD from the middle when you put the CD in after not having listened to it for several days? If you're implementing a dynamic menu, then you should be passing some information into the movie to tell it what its supposed to be displaying, so refreshing shouldn't affect this at all. If you're talking about an entire flash site, then you're gonna need to do what dennis suggests, but my questions are.... Why does your flash looks so much like HTML that the user is reloading the page? How come the user is reloading at all? Is something missing from the page? Just some thoughts...
