I need to do something whereby when you click on a button in the menu its related window opens up. Then, when you click on a different button in the menu, the current window closes **before** the new window appears.

Here is the FLV file of my work in progress  
[http://www.megaupload.com/?d=P7URMJV0](http://www.megaupload.com/?d=P7URMJV0)

When you click on CV (button) i want the Porfolio (window) to animate/close, for example fade out, BEFORE the CV window opens.

The same goes for when you have the CV button selected and go to click the portfolio, i want the CV window to close before the portfolio window opens.

I hope I have explained this okay.

If anybody knows of any good tutorials for navigation (ie. the window side of things) please link them ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/4680/32b60cbed49dfb42.gif))

Thanks in advance,
