Follow the examples and recreate it for your site.

Well I don’t know how your site is set up, but it would be best to create the transition in a movieclip of it’s own and the rest of the other movies are in external swfs.
Thanks for the comments. =)

The layout looks good and yes, you should recreate the transition on top of the layout. I would use a masking layer as well to hide the transition so only part of it would show so that it would fit that area.

hey, nice start to your layout teed . You have to post the external swfs as well so we can see your problem. You can group all the files and zip them. 🙂
:::by the way your empty movie clip Loader should be on the top left of where your external swf are going to be. and you should make your externals only the dimensions that you are going to use.
So say you have a 740 X 550 movie , this is the base (menu nav, logo ect…) you have doors the size of 380 X 318. then you want external movie behind the doors to load these external movie should be set at 380 X 318 based on the dimensions of the doors. this way you should be able to put your blank MC (loader) on the left top of the doors and it will fit perfectly inside.

but remember that even though the external movies “canvas” is 380 X 318 you can work as small as you want inside this area.
::hope this makes sense 🙂

hey teed. depending on what size your external movie is, the blank mc should be on the top left corner of where you want the content to go. here is a updated version of the flas.
::Make note of where the Blank mc is at now and the size of the external movie.

You should really search the forums first. but to use masking layer the non -actionscript way it to basically create two layer
the top layer being the object that is going to mask and the bottom is the object that is being masked.
You right click the first layer and select mask , then automatically the second layer should be indented to the first layer which is indication to these being together. If not automatically , drag the second layer in on the edge of the first layer and it should indent in.
:::remember that the mask is what shows the underneath layer.
and remember to see the mask working both layers have to be locked
::gotta go. cya
