Persistent symbol with an iFrame inside

[jonathan (Jonathan Deutsch)]

so third-party content most likely will be reinitialized as it is detached and reattached in the DOM.

This is correct; Persistent Symbols get moved from scene to scene, and thus their DOM parentage changes. Browsers have the behavior that they will reload iframes in this case. It can be demonstrated with code like:

<button onclick = "boxB.appendChild(myiframe)">Switch</button>

<div id = "boxA" style = "border: 1px solid; width: 320px; height: 180px">
	<iframe 
		id = "myiframe"
		src = "data:text/html;charset=utf-8,<script>document.write(Math.random());</script>">
	</iframe>
</div>

<div id = "boxB" style = "border: 1px solid; width: 320px; height: 180px">

</div>

A differing number means a reload has occurred.

A thought for future Hype PRO features;
Hype [micro] documents within Hype documents,
without too much of coding, or no coding at all

I agree with the suggestions above that Symbols (and thus Persistent Symbols) are in general the use case for this feature. That said, organizationally I definitely understand that a full document can be better since it can have multiple scenes and can be easier to edit.
