Loading panels?

1

I notice on a lot of websites that there is a loading panel (clip / movie)that opens and closes like a panel whenever a movie is loading at another level.

Is there anywhere where I might find a tutorial on that?

Also,

I see sites that have a movie loaded. When a button is pressed for another section of the site, that movie’s elements animate themselves out of the way before the new content loads itself in.
I can make my movies animate themselves out the way and then make the new movie load with the last frame. The problem is that I only see this possible with to sections of content, but yet I see alot of websites doing it with many sections of content. I’m sure it has do to with coding. So If there a tutorial on that out there, please let me know…

To answer your questions, take a look at this tutorial on transitions.

Also run a search for “transitions” because it has been asked many times and there are a lot of good example FLA’s posted.
