The client wanted a menu board navigation which was animated so that the boards jumped around and 'danced'. This was achieved using flash, but once implemented within the online version the links wouldn't work.
During a surgery with David it was identified that I had made a simple coding error and was calling the wrong URLs and simply had to number them correctly within flash. Once this change had been implemented the swf file then successfully linked to the pages when not online. However when added to the working site the links still didn't appear to be working!
David then asked me if i had changed the permissions within the flash publish from local files to network files, which stupidly I hadn't. After this extremely simple change of course the menu worked perfectly :)
A simple text navigation was added to the top of each of the pages to increase usability as if the user does not have flash they will still be able to navigate the website successfully.
