Heres my problem. I want to have a menu that moves down the content (which is loaded from an external SWF) and reveal a menu. THe thing is I want it to look smooth when u click on the different buttons.

Basically, I want to know if I can have one external SWF that has a menu and the content but the content would load ANOTHER Swf. So it would be an external swf loaded in an external swf. Thats not that big of a deal but the thing is I want the main container (has menu and content container) to have the transitions explained in the tutorial here. The only really confusing the is I want to make it so when the main container loads a different swf (for a difffernt menu) to keep the current swf loaded in the sub container. I dont want it to have to load again or change to a default SWF. I will try to make a diagram for you guys to better understand me.

Main Container (Has Buttons that when clicked, lowers the content, that is loaded external in a sub container, which reveals a sub menu that changes depending on what button is changed)

When a sub menu is clicked the ‘content’ container loads another swf.

I know is complicated but u guys probably know what I’m talking about. Thanks very much.
