Hi,
I asked this question some time back with no reply.
When viewing my drop down menu it always blinks the whole page when uploading the linked page( for a fraction of a second). Can this be resolved as it disrupts the flow of website?

Hello Damien,
Are you referring at the fact that the menu structure is visible before the menu is loaded? If so, we have a workaround for it and I can send you the javascript file by email. However, there is a downside. The links from the menu won't be visible for search engines anymore so this fix is not recommended if you don't want to lose the SEO optimization of the menu.
Regards,

Andrei,
If you click a button within the menu. When it loads the next page there is a blink for a fraction of a second as the page renders.
I would presume the blink is there because it needs to render the menu(flash) again. It's very annoying for me but others may not notice. I would like my website to flow from page to page without blinking every time you need to go to a new page.
I have since used a collapsible tree menu with java & html only and there is no blinking, the page renders instantly giving an overall more pleasant feel to the site.
I have used your menus before also with the following site and it also blinks for a second - http://www.southerntapes.ie/. It doesn't bother me too much with this site as it is a shopping cart site and it is what it is. The present site I am working on is more creative and has a flow to it so the blink disrupts the feel.
Your menus look good, but this blink on render really bugs me!
thanks
Damien

Hello Damien,
The menu "blinks" because the rendering function is called each time you switch from one page to another. The Flash objects need to reload each time you change the page, they are not cached like other objects like images or text.
I'm afraid there is nothing we can do about this.
You can use frames if you want and just load parts of the pages instead of loading the whole page if you have elements that are the same in all pages. Also, this can be done using a little bit of Ajax. Ajax is the best way to go if you want HTML pages that give the right flow feeling.
