SEAMLESS NAVIGATION

macromedia flash sitedesign: My site consists of an "ENTER" page with several pages loading into it as
external .SWF's. This seems to cause lag times when the pages(.SWF) are called
up particularly those pages with animations that are maximum 435 frames long.
Upon button release the viewer is looking at a blank screen for as long as 5-10
seconds before the next page loads.
Someone suggested loading everything as movie clips instead of separate
external .SWF's and using a preloader page thereby eliminating the time it
takes for each page to load separately. HOW??
I'm basically looking to achieve a clean, seamlessly functional Flash site.
I'm a newbie so what's the best way to get a Flash site operational with
several pages, button navigation/sub-navigation, and simple animations all
running smoothly.
Please look at the site as it exists now: www.boulevardpropertiesllc.com.
I'm open to rebuilding this in the most efficient way possible. Please advise.

Im dealing with the same problem myself and I will use the attachMovie action
to solve the problem.

I would use what's called timeline navigation. It is having each of your
page as a movieClip placed on labelled keyframes on the main timeline.
Then I wouls navigate from one page to another simply by using
gotoAndStop("myLabel") command
