When my flash site loads the menu is displayed on the left and an animation on the right. When I click on a menu item I want the animation on the right to change to a new clip. How do I do this.

Different ways: use on empty clip in which you load different other clips for each button (loadMovie(path)/target(select the empty “holder” clip));\rplace all your clips off stage (like \_x= -1000) and move them to the correct position while moving all others outta the way;\rmake all except one invisible/change on button click;\rand so on…\rHave more polite questions, and you’ll get better answers… 😉
