C:-) , well this is gonna be a long big essay. So lets start.
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm
I used this tutorial to make a nice menu. I got some ideas by searching this forum. Finally came up with this (check the attached .fla) … :cross-eye
Allright, now umm…its really hard to explain. But i gotta explain this.
Please Check the attached fla to get the idea of what I am talking here. You will notice that there are 3 buttons in the MAIN MENU. 1) Home 2) News 3) Forums.
For the SUBMENU : I put 3 more buttons inside the forums_mc (look in the library) on frame 61. The buttons are 1) EXT MC 1 , 2) EXT MC 2, 3) EXT MC 3. I want to use these buttons to load external swf. I want to use the same logic used in the transition tutorial to make the intro and outro transitions. In addition to that, if I press any button on the MAIN MENU, the externally loaded swf should play outro transition and also collapse the SUBMENU. BUT (this is important) , if I press any button in the SUB MENU (like the button EXT MC 2) , then outro transition should play in the ext swf, but the SUB MENU SHOULD NOT PLAY THE OUTRO ANIMATION (which we want to do, when pressing any button on MAIN MENU).
Also the externally loaded swf should load in the emptycontainer movieclip inside the FORUMS_MC clip. :inc:
So, got any ideas how to do this ??? Please look the attached files. The above discription will only make sense if you see the .fla and other files attached. 
I tried my best to do this, but could not succeed. Also, i asked many friends, but they are not able to do this…I am pretty sure that Masters like POM and Voetsjoeba, scotty and many others will be able to solve this problem. I think its pretty easy for you guys :snug:
Thanks in advance. I appreciate your help.
