Hi there!

I am new in flash, web development and design. But I am eager to learn as I fell in love with it. I am using Flash 8. Right now I am trying to do my very first website for my OGA. I am stuck and need your help and advice.

Firstly, I need to solve this problem:

I have created two “360 pano flash movies” and its in the SWF format. The movie can scroll to the right or to the left when you mouse over it.

Next, I want to do a movie gallery with thumbnails. When you click on the thumbnail, the 360 pano flash movie will appear in the placeholder (hope I got the term right) above it.  
Here’s an example of what I am thinking of - [http://www.beautifulimages.biz/vt.html](http://www.beautifulimages.biz/vt.html) (Deluxe Tour) or [http://www.virtualpix.co.uk/360-virtual-tour-ipix/gallery/gallery.html](http://www.virtualpix.co.uk/360-virtual-tour-ipix/gallery/gallery.html)

However, when I tried creating a movie gallery and do this - File\>Import and import my SWF onto stage, my swf files became bitmaps (pictures). So, what did I do wrong?

Secondly, if this is not possible, could I do something similiar with Dreamweaver MX 2004? Click on the thumbnail and the 360 pano flash movie will be played in a desinated table on the same page?

Any help or advice is appreciated.

Thank so much!
