Menu Using Seperate Flash Files

Hi All,

I need some advice, I have a 5 menu system in my Flash file, and to keep size down each element of the menu is a separate Flash file. So basically if “About” is pressed the about file loads onto the stage… The problem I am having is, when a menu item is pressed, let’s say “About”, I want whatever file has been loaded previously, I want it to fade out and then load the selected file… How could I do this? Once the menu is pressed I could easily make an as to fade the current movie out, but how would the file know what to load as the next item?
