Hiya Nathan.


My advice would be NO scenes. MCs instead. Also I wouldnt create the whole site


as one swf file.  WIth that many pages and even little graphics, by the time it

loaded I could drive downtown and buy a published version of your mag. =8>)-


I would suggest that you master communication with "tell target", "MC"(movie

clips), and "load movie". I believe "load movie" would be you best bet. You can

load and unload swf in layers in Flash for each of your pages. THis is a BIG

plus from the ole Flash2 days and doubles the use for Flash.


Creating the whole site in Flash is not a bad idea. I see so many cool flash

sites that

call on seperate HTML pages with "get url". "Load Movie" is probably the best

route

for all out Flash content.


HTH,


(BTW) On the URL above, your scrolling image buttons scroll to fast on a meaty

processor to click in time. Might want tween the MC longer or turn down

framerate.
