Hiya Jim,


I just finished a couple of my movies with a loading technique with the use

of a shematic

that John C helped me on. Can you believe that guy will actually help you?<g>


Anyway it was a nightmare because it would _not_ work with scenes. I had to

change all kinds of interactivity around and redesign most of the movie. The

_only_ thing and I mean

the _ONLY_ thing Ive found scenes helpful with, is movie organization. If you

have alot

of frames of animation, then scenes can make it easier to help you edit in

the authoring enviroment. However, if you are using fairly complicated

shematics to control your movies and other movie layers and using Movie clips

in you movies, I recomend on experience and the help of people like John C.

to avoid scenes if possible.
