Header Image/Frame?

[Rylynn]

I probably could have found better wording for that..

I made a new Flash header logo for my new site and I decided to make it a bit bolder this time around with some sound and without looping..

As I was finishing up in Flash it dawned on me that zen-cart well reload the header with every link a visitor clicks on.. thus restarting my Flash logo and playing the formerly brief non-intrusive sounds over & over again with each click until the visitor decides they hate me and leave.

I'm a little 'old school' with my html and not at all familiar with all this php and files pointing to each other and all that.. Is there a simple way I can have zen-cart leave the header image in-tact throughout a user's visit? Such as putting it in a dividerless frame or changing to a different template?

I was debating on just removing my current header image and seeing if I could just my own index page and header frame page and point the lower frame to zen-cart's index.php but with my lack of knowledge in newer webdesign conventions I figured I should ask before I do something with possibly unforseen consequences..

Thanks for any suggestions!

Stay away from iframes ... they cause more trouble than they solve.

Instead, one alternative could be to edit your flash code to set a cookie that knows whether the sounds have been played or not. Then on each subsequent load it can check the cookie and if not set, play the sounds.
