RE: FLASH: bad scenes?

[Paul Willoughby]

I think it's a lot better to stick to one timeline and have lots of movie

clips to add all the interactivity, menus etc. But I do sometimes use scenes

when developing for convenience. Like, if i want to play around with the

variables in a main movie timeline, I duplicate the scene and alter it

there. You can then use 'test scene' instead of test movie to see what

happens.

Also,I always prefer to put preloaders in a separate scene so I can test the

main movie without having to sit through the preloader every time.

Subject: FLASH: bad scenes?



Is it common to develop using a lot of scenes? I am using Flash 4

and trying to pick up where someone left off...ie they have 3 flas

and 5 scenes and about 36mcs. No functioning navigation page

that is one of the many changes to be made.

I always thought it was better to use 1 timeline and lots

of movie clips. Am I way off here?


I can't find much info. I did read that scenes are not supported in a

swf??

Is that right???  This project is for the web.


Any tutorials or wisdom majorly appreciated!


Christina
