You should be safe if your movie runs in a linear fashion,

(through scene 1 to scene 2, etc, etc...) but if you want to

be able to return to a section, or skip a section, then

scenes are not a good idea (they're buggy in general, and

only serve as an organization method for you; they do not

even exist in the SWF).


If you've got a menu of different sections of your site,

make those sections movie clips (not scenes).  You can

even use loadmovie to load them in as needed to reduce

file-size...


Others will disagree and say that they never have problems

with scenes, but I see people posting problems here all the

time about how their goToAndPlay() isn't working across

scenes, and I've experienced it myself....
