Re: FLASH: preloader all in one scene?

Hi Pat,

If you are using If Frame os Loaded (Flash 3 or 4) you will need to use

a label or if you are using a number calculate it as if the movie was

one long scene.

It can be done but it is not suggested.

If you don't want long timelines consider using the "Movie Clips as

Scenes" method in your next project.

Having one long timeline has only one major problem and that is having

to move a long distance to get to different sections of your movie.

Having Scenes can introduce or limit your movie options with problems

with movie clips, sound and problems that only pertain to movies with

multiple scenes.
