Dividing a flash page into 2 sections, one static and one dynamic

[Odaith]

Sorry for the title, but I don’t know any other way to describe it.

Basically what I'm looking to do is create a flash page and divide it down the middle into 2 different ‘windows’, or sections. On the right side will a picture and some buttons which will always be there, and on the left will be 1 of 4 different user interfaces with buttons and text.

I want to be able to have the left ‘window’ come up with different interfaces and not have it affect the right ‘window’. I also want to the two ‘windows’ to be able to pass data and signals to each other.

If there is a way to just have one interface on the left overlay the others, or hide the others and make only one visible that would be great. I’ve been looking at masking a little, but I’m not certain I can mask a whole interactive interface with buttons and text and all.

I hope I gave a decent enough explanation of what I'm after. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Simply use a frameset, or 2 seperate .swfs embedded in the same .html... And yes they can communicate throug a localConnection...

Or you could use a single large main interface .swf with a fixed right section, and another left section, actually a container clip in which to load different other external .swfs on demand. The communication between the 2 would then be much easier.
