Scenes are primarily for design time only. Scenes are never exported to

the .swf file. Movie Clips exist as Instances and since every item in

the first frame of a Scene is a new Instance, use of Movie Clips with

Scenes have limitations.

The main problem with a Load Movie is that it is a separate HTML element

that you can not completely control how long it will take to be loaded.
