Since the issue is that a page reload forces the movie to start over, i can see
three options...
1. use frames (not recommended for a variety of reasons, but the top frame w/
your menu won't need to reload and keeps its place)
2. get into ajax and try not to reload the entire page that often
3. pass a variable into the movie each time the page loads, so that it knows
what frame its on, kinda like a counter or placemarker to keep the continuity
correct.
