Animated Flash backgrounds

Can anyone post links to sites with changing/scrolling backgrounds. I'm thinking of a cartoon style site, with each section being a different scene that changes when a new section is loaded. Thanks for any help!

I'm thinking more like, when you click on "contact" the backgound scrolls from left to right and the backgound changes. It is supposed to be some sort of a swamp-forest thing, with little animated animals and a bigfoot running around in the background. I just need some ideas on how to execute it.

Thanks guys, that helps. But I still haven't found exactly what I'm thinking of. This is the closest thing I've found... http://www.nellyfurtado.com This is almost like what I need to do, except I just want it to scroll left or right to the new scene.

If all you need to do is scroll the background left or right, what is wrong with the example i gave you?

Just increace the size of each block to full screen, alter the position co-ordinates on the butons and Voila...

Ok, he needs it to work slightly differently.

He will in effect have a navigation page with a menu on on it, when a menu item is clicked the navigation will scroll to the left and the new page will come into view. There will be no Nav on this page just a back button. clicking the back button will scroll the scene to the right revealing the new scene once more.

Is that right 78.

I can do this easily enough but it's a fair bit more work than the previous example. Basically there are two ways of doing this...

1. you have one movie clip which contains the navigation scene which is scrolled in the same way as in the example shown. The selected scene is contained in another movie clip which is moved relative to the navigation movie clip (butted up to it's right hand side so you use this._x of the navigation clip + it's _width value to position the scene clip)

2. Dump an empty clip in the scrolling movie clip and load different scene clips into ot dependent on which menu item is selected.

The back button is the same as the buttons in the example, while each nav button will also contain code to change / load the new scene movie clips...

Does that make sense?

I'd work up an example but I'm at work right now...

Good luck I may have a bit of time later

D.
