Hey guys, im doing a flash site using external swf’s. So i have this main area where the exernal swf’s are placed. Now i have an opening animation happening when the external swf is brought in, but im wondering how do i do it, if i want to have a closing animation on that swf, before the new swf is loaded in? Hope you understand what i mean! 😛 ---

i think i know what ya mean… what you do is to haver an opening and closing you don’t acually do anything to the main one… but you take one of the externals and the external should start with a frame of the exact same everything as the mian ends on… and then have that fad out or whatever you want to happen and then have the new one fade in or however u want it to happen. The closing and opening will just take place in the next movie ---

Hey thanks for your reply. If u look at this site, you will find it much easier to understand what im going on about. If you look closely, you will see he brings the external swf, and within that external swf, he aslo has a closing scene, [http://www.blitzds.com/relaunch.htm](http://www.blitzds.com/relaunch.htm) ---
