How to load my .swfs / set up my main page

Hello,

I am in the process of building my Flash site. So far, I have built a sliding menu on the front page with buttons. I plan on loading external .swfs into the area above the sliding menu.

My buttons are HOME, ABOUT, PORTFOLIO, RESUME, CONTACT…Let’s say my main .SWF that everything will load into is home.swf…If I place the content above the sliding menu on this .swf and click…lets say the PORTFOLIO button to load the portfolio.swf, how do I get the info on the main page to do its “outro” like the smooth external swf transitions tutorial and leave the sliding menu in place while loading the portfolio.swf?

I guess what I’m asking is how do I automatically load a .swf into my main page upon opening?

Does this make sense? I am looking for some direction. Thanks!
