each time I jump to another page by clicking the menu on the navigation bar, the sidebar refreshes, the problem is that i have a swf in the sidebar, so the refresh makes it start from the very beginning, any solutions?

Probably not.

so the refresh makes it start from the very beginning

The nature of of WordPress and PHP is to create dynamic pages, which basically means they are generated on the fly every time you go to a new page or post. That way, if you change something as someone is reading your blog, they will see the new content immediately.

See this bit in the Codex for more information.

I’m not sure that a caching plugin would help with this, either, because of the way swf works, or rather, because of the way it is often implemented.

I can’t access your site, either. I keep getting a “server not found” error.

It’s not, simply because that’s just the way the internet works. Every page load will, well, load the entire page again, and not just the bits that change. Which means any playabale elements will restart from the beginning.

You may be able to achieve this using some AJAX coding, though, which allows just parts of the page to be loaded and keep the rest unchanged.
