☹ I’m new to flash…well…kinda, but i picked up a lot of things fast…i can make a site in flash, but i was told there are “levels” which i should use to make it easier for myself when loading and unloading content in the movie. I need the upper and lower oprtion to stay “static” [although it will be animated with buttons etc] but i wish the main content to be loaded into the middle. Some genius please explain in lamens terms…i’m kinda 👽 to this! [edit]Oops…i understand layers completely by the way 😛 ---

I personally wouldn’t use levels to load your content into, but an empty containermc. It gives you more control over the loaded content (like positioning etc.) ---
