Hello,

My site is set up with a man menu that loads external swfs when the appropraite button for each swf is released. Lets say I choose my “Photography” button and I am taken to my photography swf. On my photography swf I have thumbnail buttons, that when released will open up a larger image of the picture(each picture is its own swf). These swfs load fine. The problem is…say I am done looking at photos and want to open the contact.swf…now everything disappears on the photo page except the larger image I was viewing and then the photography page begins to load again. Any help? Let me know if this makes sense. 🙂
