Re: Re:FLASH:Button control

Hi Dave,

I think it would work better to have that 100 frame intro be a movie

clip instead of the first part of a scene.  It is best to avoid using

scenes because you will have problems with tell targeting.  If I

understand correctly, you want each of the 5 buttons to play the

intro, then go to new information.  If you used one intro movie clip

within another movie clip, you could have 5 different movie clips each

starting with the same intro.  This would give you one scene with just

a few frames and a navigation menu on the main timeline.

The result would be a smaller movie in size which will be easier to

edit and organize.
