i can do a preloader, that’s no problem, but i’m wondering how they have it on this site where the current loaded clip stays there until the new clip slides over it? is it loading into levels? how would you unload the mc underneath?

create a movieclip (objMenuSub) on stage and place it off stage.  
like above (\_x=-300)  
put in it whatever you want.

convert the objMenuSub into a new symbol/movieclip (objMenu) and in it do the sliding effect. it si simple with tweens  
put stop() as in required frames. like in frame 1 (off stage)  
frame 10 (on stage after sliding in)  
frame 20 (off stage after sliding out)

then on click of the button, control the objMenu movieclip

like \_root.objMenu.gotoAndPlay(2);

in the buttons/ thumbnails, \_root.objMenu.gotoAndPlay(11);

I hope this is what you were looking for
