Chris, I'd also recommend that you do a search in the docs for "creationPolicy" and read about deferred instantiation. Try and forget everything you know about splitting a flash movie up into separate movies and loading them on demand, and relinquish that responsibility to Flex. With clever use of creationPolicy, you can allow Flex to defer the loading of your application with an appropriate policy.
Don't get me wrong, you may find there's a need ultimately to start using Loader controls to create and destroy your own views; but I'd always recommend that you try and avoid this strategy until evident performance demands it.

Welcome to the world of Flex. In Flex the loadMovie functionality is basically encapsulated within the mx:Loader component. You should be able to have a base MXML file with an mx:Loader in it and pass in other MXML files for the Loader to load --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "chris.alvarado" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Good morning everyone, > > So it looks like I will be rebuilding a year long project that I > originially developed in Flash, with Flex. > > The current structure is that i have a "controlling" movie that acts > as the skeleton. if a user is not logged in they are presented with a > login box and that is all. once the user logs in successfully they are > presented with various navigation icons based on whatever permissions > they have. when they select a particular navigation item, the > subsequent interface is loaded into the conrolling movie using the > loadMovie() method.
