Re: FLASH: Using Scenes

Hi Scott,

Scenes limit advanced uses of Flash and your ability to add more

advanced features.

There are quite a few.

Of course.

If it works then you need not change anything, but as you do more

advanced things with Flash you will find there are some things that

don't work with Scenes. For instance, Movie Clips and Streaming Sound

don't work across Scene boundaries, both are reset to their first frame

when placed in a new scene.

I think the most important part of the Scenes segment in the Flash

documentation is the last part "To delete a scene". Just my 2 cents.
