Hi I'm realy new to flash and need some help.

I am creating a CD rom which has multiple scenes, I discovered that the number
of scenes i had would result in certain links not loading. I thought this could
be resolved by splitting the scenes into individual movies and loading them in
that way.

I Created a new movie "Main" where i have my intro loading into a blank movie
on the "Main" stage. The "Intro" movie has buttons on it and i want these
buttons when pressed to open another movie which will replace the "Intro" on
the "main" stage...Is this possible or am i going about it all wrong.

that might not be a good way to do things. once your press a button that's in
intro, those buttons are removed and you'll need to load another movie with
buttons for your navigation. you might want to put your buttons in your main
movie and have them load external swfs into your main movie.

the Intro is the main nav then each new movie that links out from there has
its own additional set of buttons that can navigate with in that movie.

Here is a link to what I have done. the only button working at the moment is
the Check Valve and this is the old version created as one movie.

what if you want to navigate back out of the currently loaded movie?
generally, you want to have your main navigation contained in one movie. you
can have additional buttons in loaded movies to navigate within the loaded
movies, but it gets pretty cumbersome to have those external movies unload
themselves and load another external movie. it can be done, though.
