There are 2 things I need help with.

1. When you click a button in the menu, the preloader works great, it loads an external .SWF file flawlessly, but there's a brief moment in between the "click" and the preloader where you can see the home page. It's very unprofessional looking in my opinion. If i'm wrong, let me know.

2. When viewed on a 19" moniter, the website looks great, and the bottom of the presentation is visible. When viewed on a 15" screen, I cannot see the bottom of the presentation, and I can't click on some buttons that are down there. My presentation is 1024x768
Here is the web address:

hy there, well...
1. When you click a button in the menu, the preloader works great, it loads an external .SWF file flawlessly, but there's a brief moment in between the "click" and the preloader where you can see the home page. It's very unprofessional looking in my opinion. If i'm wrong, let me know.

i think that what is going on is simply that your home section is in there all the time, i mean...you are loading each section into a sectionHolder mc, but not the home section. different ways to prevent. easy one, just make an home.swf and load it in the same sectionHolder...making any sense?

2. When viewed on a 19" moniter, the website looks great, and the bottom of the presentation is visible. When viewed on a 15" screen, I cannot see the bottom of the presentation, and I can't click on some buttons that are down there. My presentation is 1024x768
you have many ways to solve this...they all will depend on how much time you want to put into it. Simple one, just dont get rid of the scroller...:rolleyes:

sorry for my late response..I've been moving. You almost answered my question...Is it possible to have an external movie clip load upon the opening of the presentation after the preloader? If so... Do you have the action script on hand?

Next matter of business... Not getting rid of the scrollers...that's great and everything but I don't know how I would change my html code to accomodate your suggestion.

sectionHolder.loadMovie("home.swf")
just place that in the main timeline were you have the scene set up.

Hmm, that section holder isn't quite working

Here...I've included the zipped file for anyone who wants to take a gander:

But Seriously folks, I need help with this website...It's almost done. I just need these two problems looked at.
