Hi there i have made a navigation in flash and 3 buttons that load some external swf's. Problem is that when they load the parent swf keeps playing in the background. How can i make them play separately and make the navigation stage dissapear completely when they load?

It depends on how your file is designed.  It might be possible to have all the main content that is not involved with the loaded content in a movieclip where you control the visibility of it.

Unfortunately i cannot do that because its not like some buttons in a webpage it has a background image some huge buttons etc. I want the external swf to start fresh

Nothing that you just described would forego being abble to place it in a movieclip.... If it is occupying your main timeline, it can occupy a movieclip's timeline just as easily.

What you cannot do is remove a parent object and expect the children of it to stick around... they are removed with it
