What should I keep in mind when building a site using a document class?
and how do I do the preloaders?
i would like to have a nice background while the rest of the movie is loading, in AS2, i would just move them to another frame. but in AS3, moving them to another frame and using a DocClass, their instance names would not be seen.

The MVC approach.
…A view class that would handle displaying all of your animations and effects.
…A controller class witch would decided on how your events are handled
…Model classes that build different components of your website.
You start out with the controller class, there are events for when a movie starts playing and when things are done loading. The controller class would load in different models and views to help display your site.
