Hello everyone. I have been reading these forums for a while and i can not understand how to do something in flash. I dont know how to create a website(with certain preferances). I have been reading and practising how to load movies and things like that but i cannot link everything together. Here is how i want to make it, i would like some suggestions of how to approach this…and what order to go about in making a flash website. (I have seen the website tutorial on Kirupa main page but it is not what i am looking for)

-the website starts with a page saying “enter”  
-after clicking “enter” a pop up flash window appears and the site begins to preload  
-after the preloader is done maybe 2 or 3 movies load up. (a navigator…and some sort of image on the side…maybe another MC) (i dont know how to link 2 or 3 different movies into one big/er one)  
-When a button is clicked…a preloader appears replacing the original image and it goes away as another MC loads and appears, along with info/text on what was requested

I dont know whether this is achieved by using symbols for each MC or do i just make a MC without any symbols. I also have a limited knowledge of actionscript so i dont want to use a lot of that. I am not asking for someone to make me a site or something like that. Just some suggestions on how i would go about on making a website with those preferences.

Some links of what type of website i am trying to make is:

[http://www.stereoplastic.com/](http://www.stereoplastic.com/)  
[http://www.thevillage.nl/](http://www.thevillage.nl/)  
[http://www.volumeone.com/](http://www.volumeone.com/)

I have experience in 2d design(PS and AI) and i catch on in flash animation, so i am not a complete beginner at this. But i need a lot of help with this personal project.

I appreciate any comments given, thank you.
