this is the method ive used to target all of the other .swf’s but i’ve got a problem with the first being displayed every time a button is clicked, it only displays whilst the page is loading though

Okay, I know what you did. That page with the message at the bottom that says ‘please wait, your page will load…etc.’ is your background. The reason you see that is because when you load a swf into a movieClip (mc) that has a swf loaded in it already, it will automatically unload that swf. It unloads it before the new swf is loaded in. This is why you see that page underneath.
Suggestion: Move everything to frame (2) in your main movie to remove that page underneath that says the message. Basically, make sure there’s nothing underneath.

Yeah, unless you can upload it to a server somewhere, you can email it to me at [kirupastuff@yahoo.com](mailto:kirupastuff@yahoo.com)
I’ll take a look.

Hey,
I didn’t get your email because 4MB is too big for yahoo. Send it to [Freddy@Freddythunder.com](mailto:Freddy@Freddythunder.com) - bigger mailbox.
BTW-

So Freddy, you’re saying that if I followed that tut for loading into target…just created a blank MC and loaded swf’s into it for each “page”, then if I wanted to on the index page perhaps load my mp3 player as a seperate swf, I couldn’t do it? It would unload my main\_content that would normally be displayed on the index page?

I don’t think I understand your question. I know your site (because we’re working on it, right?) and I’m guessing you mean index page by the splash page with the enter button. If you have an mp3 player on that page, and then hit enter, your mp3 player will stop and then the other one will start up again. Is that what you mean? I’m a little lost…sorry.
