preloading, loading over current mc

i can do a preloader, that's no problem, but i'm wondering how they have it on this site where the current loaded clip stays there until the new clip slides over it? is it loading into levels? how would you unload the mc underneath?

[leadtrum]

is there a way to always load the mc over the current one then delete it when its done loading?

load on levels -> loadMovieNum ?

here's an example of what i'm talking about...

create a movieclip (objMenuSub) on stage and place it off stage.
like above (_x=-300)
put in it whatever you want.


convert the objMenuSub into a new symbol/movieclip (objMenu) and in it do the sliding effect. it si simple with tweens
put stop() as in required frames. like in frame 1 (off stage)
frame 10 (on stage after sliding in)
frame 20 (off stage after sliding out)

then on click of the button, control the objMenu movieclip

like _root.objMenu.gotoAndPlay(2);

in the buttons/ thumbnails, _root.objMenu.gotoAndPlay(11);
