Flash MX site navigation questions

[rgaut]

Question - working on trying to get this effect from this site http://www.2advanced.com/archive/v2/index.html

are the doors sliding and opening to a new scene?...not sure how to set up navigation on this, would you break it up into scenes, or load new movie clips...a little stumped...here's what i have so far http://www.edgeontheweb.com/tester.htm the "underground" button works, I send it to a new scene to play the dropping doors, and then from there I send it to a preloader scene and then from there to the actual scene, but there's got to be a better way?

any help much appreciated.

Yeah, don't use scenes at all. There's really no need. Separate your content into separate movies and load into your main movie as needed. This allows you to only load the necessities to start, and only force users to load what they want/ask to see. Plus you can utilize tricks like dynamic placement and masking (like to get the sliding door effect) that is much more difficult to achieve when your content is spread across scenes.
