Re: FLASH: BUTTON CONTROL

[Marc Hoffman, Poison Dart Frog Media]

Hi Peter,


You can use LoadMovie to allow the user to determine the order in which 

content is loaded. Convert each scene to its own movie and load it on a 

higher level. Give each movie a frame where it is blank and has a stop 

action, so you can "park" it, rather than unload it, when it's not 

needed.  And please don't type in all caps; it is harder to read and on the 

Internet it is considered shouting.  Thanks.
