I was working with a transition between external SWF files like is done in this tutorial [[COLOR=#333333]http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm[/COLOR]](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm) and added preloaders for every SWF.  
when you click on a section button it first runs the previous section and then it loads the other section.  
What i want is to let the previous section to still be visable when clicking on a new section.  
So lets say section 1 is active and when i click on section 2 the preloader should apair and load in section 2 and then close section 1 and then run section 2 is this possible ? i have seen this techniques used on other site but dont know how to do it.  
Anybody knows a tutorial or have some source files ? or some other info ?
