It seems like you answered your own question, don't use Scenes unless

they have no overlapping content. No streaming sound and no Movie Clips

that need to be available for more than one scene. Use Labels instead.

It's easy to combine Scenes into a single timeline if you make it a

point never to refer to frames by their Scene Name but only use Labels.

In a group project it is important to set up standard Label Naming

conventions to prevent problems in combining work into a single final

Scene.
