First off, you'll do well to avoid the use of scenes except in authoring

mode. Personally I don't use them at all. When you get into more complex

stuff, in particular using sound and movie clips, you will be sorry if you

rely on scenes.


As for using Load Movie, it is primarily useful for Web-based Flash when

there is a great deal of content (several hundreds of k or more) that can

be called at random by the user. Then, rather than make the user wait for

the entire download in order to get to a chunk of content, you might break

it into separate movies. These movies will lose the benefit of sharing a

library of symbols, so there's a disadvantage. But you can then let the

user manage the order of download, and often you can try to sneak in a few

movie downloads while the user is busy with something else.
