[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial]I know a little bit of Flash, but not enough to put together any code on my own. I designed the website as one .swf file and probably 30-40 different scenes initially…including a preloader…only to find it getting bogged down as the size of it grew to over 6 megs. Then I read about splitting it up into various external .swf files that are referenced and loaded into the main .swf file separately. So then I split the files up into sections. The problem is that I now have a pause before each of the external .swf’s are loaded, and I don’t want to have each .swf use a preloader. I then read about using a movie array to load all of the .swfs at once to preload them, so now I have that happening instead…but they’re all starting immediately after they load, one on top of another now. The site that I read about arrays from suggested putting a stop(); in the first frame of the movie to keep them from loading, but putting a stop command in the first frame of each external .swf does nothing…and I imagine that if I put it in the first frame of the main .swf file, it will keep the movies from loading altogether, not my intent either. So that’s a problem…my other problem is that I can’t figure out how to move to a specific frame within an external .swf by pressing a button within the main movie. For instance, right now I have a button called “projects”, which when you press it I would like for it to go to the 20th frame in the “projects.swf “ that has a frame label “jones”. My code right now, which can only take me to the first frame is:[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial] }[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial] //End Behavior[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
