I had an intricate set of Java Script controlled .gif animations on the buttons for each area on my old web site. The code was pretty involved. It loaded a little slow for dial up people but still under 60seconds.The trick was to keep the animations down around 5k each to keep the overall page size under 200k. When the mouse moved over a button. The text disappeared and an animation played inside of the button area. The person either click the button to go to thast area. Or choose another button. So scrpting had to turn the text on and off as well as trigger the animation depending on the mouse pointer location. It sounds like you want to do something similar: Mouse over a door and it opens. Click there and it takes you to that page. If you choose another door. The door that was open closes. And so on, and so forth. Very much the same thing as my button actions were. I had a lot of fun with that. But at the time most people were on dial up so I cut out most of that stuff later on. One day almost everyone will be on high speed and we will be able to get more creative with our web site navigation. You can always make both high speed and low speed versions and let people decide. If you don't mind doing it twice. I've heard many people disable Java Script these days. So Flash might be a better way to go. -ScottA
