In the link is an swf page. I need to recreate this exactly but do not have the fla, I need to try to understand how this was done. What I think I know so far

the signature is a movie clip, when it ends it either has an action like "go to frame 2:
on frame 2 the full signature opens on the top left on level 1?
the menu opens a few frames after then the large pics probably in a clip load last in level 2. When you click the menu parts the new movies load in the same level 2 while the menu and signature remain

I also know that the little button on the bottom left controls the background color and text color. It is not xml and I cannot understand how to do this in Flash, I can do it with java in an html page but for the life of me cannot figure how this was done in an fla. Too bad there wasn't a way to take an swf and change it to an fla. Link to original is below

The signature is probably jsut how you described it. And might have some prelaoding functionality as well.

That sites SWF fills the whole browser frame. So the background color may just be a moveClip that is scaled to fill 100% of the browser. Then you can target the MC with scripting to change it's color. Same concept for the menu items.

Something that might help you a lot is the Tweener class
