I also use loadMovie, but its more complex since i added a transition and a preloadr for the external content.

Ok ill try to give a brief explanation on the concept…

Whenever u click a button, it checks if the content you are trying to load is already placed on the container movie clip (lets call it **content mc** ).  
If it is a different content, a value is assigned to a variable, telling which external swf should be loaded **(note that we are not telling the external movie clip to load right now)**. Then it tells the transition mc to play its closing animation.

Once the closing animation is done, we are goin to load whaetver movie is stored in our variable into content mc.

The content mc then checks if it has any external content inside itself. Now this is where the preloading thing takes place. Once the external movie is fully loaded, the content mc tells the transition mc to play its opening animation, revealing the new content.

I hope this helps…  
Cheers  
🙂

Nasir, **closing** is just the label of closing animation’s first frame.

All the preloading takes place on **content mc**. I was in a hurry to finish my example and decided not to use a load bar, If u want, put the code for load bar inside content mc.  
I think im goint to update my example now…
