I just walked around the office and confirmed that on three other computers in both IE and Firefox the navigation does not appear the first time visiting the site. Even when clicking on the graphic buttons in the content of the home page the navigation still doesn't show up. The only ways to get the navigation to show up were to 1). click on any button in the flash header (ie Home, Contact) or 2). click on the navigation in the footer. Interesting enough, the navigation in the footer is also being built using XML and is being parsed with XSLT.
I'm at a loss for why this strange behavior is taking place. Thanks guys, Aaron P.S. Really, I don't think that the express install and redirection is the problem, but once you have visited the site and got the navigation to work, the only way to replicate the problem is to uinstall Flash, install Flash 7, express install 9, and revisit the site.

I just realized that the problem of the navigation not loading the first time around happens when a user has Flash 7 and uses the express install to update to 9. Once the update is complete and they are redirected to the website, the navigation doesn't load. If you have the Flash uninstaller handy and an earlier version of Flash handy as well, please visit my page with Flash 7 or below, accept the express install prompt, and see if the navigation loads upon being redirected to the site. That may be asking a bit, so thank you very, very much if you are inclined, Aaron On 9/18/06, Aaron Roberson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The navigation to the right of the horse and below the company name > and tagline loaded on first try? > > What browswer are you using? > > -Aaron > > On 9/18/06, slangeberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Looked fine to me! > > > > Scott > > > > On 9/18/06, Aaron Roberson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > Please take a look at the folowing website: > > > > > > http://whitehorsemedia.com > > > > > > If you are visiting the page for the first time, the navigation in the > > > Flash header does not load (I am using xml to define my navigation and > > > actionscript to parse it).
