Preloading Images - and Loading content

Ok I’ll try to explain this the best that i can. The flash portion of my site is just the navigation bar. here is a link so you can see what it looks like for an easier time helping solve my problem:

As you can see text loads into dynamic text boxes when the user rolls his/her mouse over that little upright rectagle, there will be many of those rectangles once i have my site done but for now, im just testing things out.

here is the current code applied to my Rectangle Nav Button:

// This is the state where rollover text displays in those beveled boxes
on (rollOver) {
ordernum = “0001”;
title = “Change is the only constant - 1600x1200”;
made = “01.12.03”;
series = “Not available”;
classification = “Graphic”;
}
// This is the code to load images or whatever onto the stage
on (release) {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”,1);
container.loadMovie(“Ug.jpg”);
container._x = 50 ;
container._y = 100 ;

_root.onMouseDown = function () {
startDrag (“container”,false) ;
}
_root.onMouseUp = function () {
stopDrag () ;
}

}

What this code does is when the user rolls his/her mouse over, text loads into the dynamic text boxes, and when the user releases his/her mouse on the button the jpg “Ug.jpg” loads. However this is not the effect i am after. I want to have a preloader off to the side somewhere on the flash portion of my site, and when the user mouse overs a nav bar button, the text in the dynamic text boxes gets lighter, and when the user rolls his/her mouse out, the text goes back to normal. I also want it so when the User Releases on a nav bar button the pre-loader off to the side loads the image, sound, or movie and then that image/ sound/ movie displays in a HTML portion of my site right below the Flash portion. I don’t know if this is possible or not, but If i have to use all flash i will, but i would prefer html displaying, but flash loading. Here is an example of what i want my site to look like:

It would be really great if one of you guys could tell me how to achieve this or maybe even write some actionscript for me that would do this. Thanks a lot!

anyone???

Hm…

So, in other words, you want the Flash navigation select the JPEG file and load the selected JPEG file into the HTML part???

If that is the case, you can not use image holder you have mentioned… You will have to either have the Flash send some of those text and image information back to the server side script and have server side script generate dynamic HTML page with the given information… Or you can use HTML frame to open only image into the frame…

You might want to do some searching on the forum to find more information… =)
