Seemless transition from loaded pages...=(

Ok, I know its been a while and I know a lot of people dont like me asking questions...lol, but...

I'm trying to get some pretty big files (floorplans) to load from a menu. I had to split the files up because the SWF was getting tremendously large (300k+)

Now, I've tried doing a preload on the page with the floorplan...the preloader looks like the menu from the previous page with the floorplan name replaced with the word 'loading'...problem is, whenever I have it set up that way, I click on the floorplan name, and I get a breif pause, the movie goes black and 2 seconds later, the preloader pops up.

Ok, so I try a different approach. I've tried loading the floorplan movie on TOP of the menu movie and then unloading it once the previous one was loaded...for some reason, this time the movie loaded right, but never unloaded the 2nd movie, and other weird things started happening.

Could someone point me to a sample of seemless page swapping, etc?...just so I can take a look and see what the heck I'm doing wrong? Regards,

As usual, a lot of confusion in your question!
You seem to think that we're sitting beside you, looking at your screen, and that your explanations are crytal clear. They aren't!
Post a link to your .fla, or e-mail it to me at oldnewbie@hotmail.com
Then I may start understanding something.

PS: It's not so much that we don't like you asking questions, it's more like that when the question is asked you never come back to get the solution, as you did for your unwrapping gift bit, which I had solved and posted a solution for!

I always come back and get the solution, but for some reason I always implement it wrong.

I've gotten this down...I finally figured it out after like 5hrs of switching things around, accidently overwriting a file I needed (thank god I keep backups)...but I have it pretty much down now...

Pretty soon for the floorplans, since there is so little space for them, I'm thinking of making a script which brings them to fullscreen for someone to view...
go to communities->eagle chase->floorplans
Thats what I was talking about...I have it pretty much all down now.

Think a fullscreen floorplan view would be nice? Regards,
