Re: FLASH:Use of Scenes(Was: What's the difference...?)

[Michael Greenberg]

Hi Marie,

The problem with scenes is this.There are no direct costs for scenes however

there may be indirect ones including new additional placement costs for any

items in the previous scene's last frame that are carried over to the first

frame of the new scene.


I have done a comparison of this before and I have noticed significant

differences in my swfs as well as flas. But as a rule of thumb stay away

scenes. They really aren't neccessary especially with the functionality of

labels and movie clips as well as comment flags.
