Hello,

I want to create flash website.

I want to know how when you click on main navigation link only the content
part changes, not the banner and the navigation links( the say there they
don't upload again). (Would you do that in key frames or Scenes?)

How would link the buttons to that specific key frame or Scene?(Or whatever
you think would be best?

Also, is there a need of a preloader? It is going to be pretty simple not a
lot of things to link to.

Thanks

Hi -
If you're just starting out in Flash, the easiest way would be to
lay it out using labels on keyframes in a top 'actions' layer that correspond
to content matching them in other layers.

So, have the 'nav' layer' showing throughout the entire t-line,
with all of your button instances [banner at top, etc.] and code them like:
on(release){
gotoAndPlay("_news");
}
Then the actions layer has a corresponding '_news' frame label - plus, a
stop();
action to prevent us going to other frames/sections. One of the lower layers
would
contain the content for that section. [If using any movie clips in the content
area, be sure they have their own stop(); action .]

Hope that helps to get you started,
El
