    how do I accomplish this effect - link inside

    Everytime you click on a link on the mainpage it opens a page smoothly on the same page (I'm trying to stay away from opening a ton of pages to display the info, I like the fact that all the info is displayed on the same page at the click of a button). It's like everytime you click on a link, it overrides the last page that was displayed and shows the new page. Here is the link http://www.fantasyinterfaces.com[/url]

    Thanks in advance (I'm using Flash 5)

    They are loading external swf files into the main swf.

    You can do it in two ways. Either load it into a target movieclip inside the main swf or load it into a new _level of the Flashplayer.

    To load a externals swf into a empty MC in main timeline...

    myTargetMovieClip.loadMovie("myExternalMovie.swf") ;

    Thanks for your response - I hate to ask but is there a tutorial or a .fla on how to do the above (i.e load externals etc.). I need to be able to understand what I'm doing. This is completely foreign to me and I need step by step instructions on how to do it.
