When I reload an HTM page using a SWF file like a menu, the HTML page doesn't shows the SWF again!

Question

Dear Sirs,
I hope to be directing my question into the correct forum's place.
I'm new in flash and I'm trying to make some tests
My problem is the following:
I included one SWF file into 3 HTM pages.
This SWF works as a little menu.
The SWF file (named "menu.swf") contains 3 items working as command buttons to access the three different HTM pages
Each HTM page contains the same "menu.SWF" file, some HTML text and one picture.
The swf contains:
Button 1 -> calls page1.htm using:
            on (press) {
            getURL("./page1.htm", "_top");
Button 2 -> calls page2.htm using:
            on (press) {
            getURL("./page2.htm", "_top");
Button 3 -> calls page3.htm using:
            on (press) {
            getURL("./page3.htm", "_top");
When I enter to "page1.htm" it appears correctly showing the swf file and all the HTML text.
It is OK.
But when I'm in "page1.htm" and I click on "Button1" (to reload "page1.htm") the only thing that I can see (after reloading page1) is the HTML text and the picture, but I cannot view the "menu.swf" file.
"menu.swf" remains in its place, but "invisible".
You can click on its command buttons, but anytime I click on the button that loads the same page (for example: "Button 1" to reload "page1.htm") the
swf file(s) doesn't appears.
The same thing happens when I'm in page 2 with Button 2 to reload page2 .htm, and so on.
How can I do to solve this problem?
Sorry for my not good english but I'm spanish speaker.
Thank you!

The path in the buttons is not correct once you navigate to the htm page.
So here you are on the landing page and the menu button says to get to "page1.htm" go up one folder level  (../) to the file page1.htm.
Now once you are up one level, either you loose access to the .swf because from that page the path to the .swf is not correct, or if the .swf does show, then the path in the buttons back to the other pages is not correct, because you are now one folder level higher.
If I am mis-reading your post and all pages are in the same folder, then remove the "../" part before the page name in the URL. Or perhaps you are using ./ to denote the current directory... I'd still suggest removing it. So the the getURL would look like this :
getURL("page1.htm", "_top");
if all pages are in the same folder.
And if I am reading your post correctly, then you cannot use the same button URL to get to ("./page1.htm", "_top"); and once on page1.htm use that same URL to get back down to your landing page.
So I'd say it's a pathing problem.
Give that a try and see if it helps.
