So with the new indexing ability of my new Backwater site a question
keeps coming up in my mind...is there a better way? The primary
problem is that it requires constantly reloading data that doesn't
really need to be reloaded.

On the Backwater site for example when you click on a nav button it's
essentially performing a meta-refresh on the page but then adding on
the appropriate GET variable to the URL.

This is a bit annoying in that it winds up having to reload about 800K
of data, which, even from the browser cache takes 3 to 5 seconds.
Now, it is true that in that respect it winds up functioning like your
average HTML/CSS/javascript based site...but part of wanting to use
Flash (aside from the compatibility) is the increased speed in NOT
having to needlessly reload anything from the cache.

So the question is...is there some way to make it so that when someone
goes to bookmark the page it'll alter the bookmarking URL or is there
some way of dynamically altering the URL while NOT actually reloading
the page? So far the only viable solution I've come up with is to
include my own little bookmarking button that when clicked would be
able to set a dynamic bookmark...but I was kinda hoping for something
a bit more...evolved.
