help with flash webpage

hi.i need help with kool moves.ok so basically i am making this website in flash so all the pages are in flash.i want have one big flash.and want it so that when i click on a button for a page, not everything loads.and just what i want loads, unlike making differnt pages in a seperete project.here is a exaple of what i am talking about http://www.flashtemplatestore.com/preview/300109769

.as u can see when you click on a button, instead of loading the whole flash, it just changes the content while every remains.i know this is just a big flash project in one file.can someone tell me how to do this?thanks a lot! :)

There is nothing about that site that can not be made in Kool moves, it is not however a beginners project.

If you want to load external movies in your main movie, just use load move action!

but how do i load the movie could u tell me step by step.i want to change the content when u click on the button.but i dont want to load the whole page again.

1.make the button
2.double click it> actions >press the little cross >load movie
3.in the empty filed type the name of the move you want to load( for example: mymovie.swf)
Before all that you have to have your movie prepared and exported in the same folder you main movie is.
In order to load it properly without any glitches, i suggest you do a little trick.
Here is how:Create you <mymovie.swf> the same size as your main move clip so when you load it into the main move it will load flawlessly.You can even add some preloader in mymovie.swf so it looks nice!
The other option is to use holder movie clip.Try searching the forum a bit.
Hope this helps!

Take a look at this tread! Might help ya!

Create an empty frame and in your button actions ad go to key frame> <the number of your empty frame and stop> and leave you load movie action.That way you will avoid seeing previous movie in you loaded movie.Then you will have two action on your button.
As for other issues, i don't get it?Could you put you files online so we can take a look at it?

^what do u mean by "Create an empty frame and in your button actions ad go to key frame> <the number of your empty frame and stop> and leave you load movie action."also i am putting music so i want it to continue from one page to another.so i am assuming it will continue rite?.thanks for the help:)

i wish i could post you screen shot, but i can't!It's simple!If you want to prevent your main move to be active and maybe visible(if your mymovie.swf has any transparent objects in it), you just create a empty frame within your main movie.And do what i told you before.Read the manual for "go to key frame action".
This all could be done using action script, but i guess it would confuse you more!
You can post for file, and i will take a look at it.

That webpage is far from difficult.

The only thing that would be difficult is that ever elusive page turn effect. Oh, and drawing all of the graphical elements. But once they were done it would be fairly straight forward.

Heck, I can see how this page could be done in as few as two frames.

Earlier in this thread I said this, and it is evident that this is proving to be well outside of your scope, it is not fair that you expact the guys here to build this for you for free, when your example template was only $60.

my site HAS nothing to do with the templet on that i showed in my beginning post. i am not making anything like that because my website is not a fishing site.it was random flash templete i found to show as an example to you guys on how when you click on a botton, instead of loading a whole page it loaded the information only.i just wanted to learn how to do that part.:)

no but i am using a lot of effects.

I assumed you already figured out how loaded movie should look like.If you want to load just new information then create exactly the same movie clip with all the buttons from your main movie in it and just change the information, and leave everything else like it was.
There are numerous examples on kool exchange, for instance menu1 by blanius in menus and navigation section.Analyze that example!

here is the kool moves file joca http://www.sendspace.com/file/4imo80

by the way i also want a custom preloader too.i searched this site and found a tutorial but the problem is the preloader is just a bar.and kool moves makes it for you.i know how to make a custom one in flash 8 but the problem is i dont no how to make it here.

Make any animation you want, save it as *.fun in the same folder as your project.
Then go back to your main project, Movie> Preloader and add your fun file. You can also add a progress bar to it if you wish, look at the options in the dialogue box.

thanks for the help.but when i load the .fun file which is the preloader in to my main project, it for some reason dosnt play the motion scripts or the 3d effects that i assigned the preloader project file.

Well you really shouldn't use 3d effects or Motion scripts in a preloader otherwise you need a preloader for your preloader. Keep it small and simple animation.

how else can i animate it then?

for a preloader You just need to keep it really simple and do a couple of frame animation or very short coded animation. If you really must motion script might be ok but watch your file size.
