can anyone please explain to me how to obtain the look that the 2advanced site gets when you click on one of their buttons.  
the information only changes in the main display window and i’d like my site to have this effect.  
i don’t want users to wait for page after page to load…i’d really like this effect whereby just the main segment of the screen displays the following pages.

hope you can understand this gibberish…lol.

many thanx,

Mike…8]

loadMovie()

Their site is one main layout, and each individual section is pulled in using loadMovie() to load to a target clip.

Something like…

\_root.emptyMovieClipSymbolInstanceName.loadMovie(“yourfile.swf”)

This will attach the upper left corner of your external .swf file you want loaded in to the empty movie clip symbol you are loading to.

Then when they change sections they just load to the same clip so it overwrites the old section and loads in the new section.

many thanx friend for your reply…

i don’t suppose there’s a “flash for dummies” explanation or breakdown of this ?

sorry for being so basic and in my early learning years…lol.
