Hi There!

I’m sure this has been covered before… so any help would be great!

Flash website. One main movie. 5 external movies (“about” “contact” etc)

I want to do something where the current movie fades out and the new one fades in. There’s a tutorial on this site that shows how to do it. great.

But…

I don’t want each new movie to “load” while the view watches. I want it to be seamless.

Is there a way to pre-load my external movies? have them load in the background while the viewer looks at another part of the page?

Help!
