There are two alternatives to using Scenes.

1) Just use Labels, the disadvantage is the timeline can get very long.

There is a limit of 16000 frames.

2) Break sections into Movie Clips that can act in a similar fashion to

scenes. Keep common elements out of Movie Clips on the main timeline to

keep file size at a minimum. Disadvantages are there is a small

oveerhead for MCs and MC don't stream they won't play until completely

loaded. Normally I will keep the early segments on the main timeline

especially if they are large or break into smaller MCs.
