Using Scenes

To organize a movie more logically, you can use scenes. For example, you might use separate scenes for an introduction, a loading message, and credits. Although there are reasons to use scenes, professional designers rarely use them because they increase the file size. The better solution is to use the Load Movie command and interconnect Flash movies.

When you publish a Flash movie that contains more than one scene, the scenes in the SWF file play back in one sequence in the order they are listed in the Scene panel in the FLA file. Frames in the SWF file are numbered consecutively through scenes. For example, if a movie contains two scenes with ten frames each, the frames in Scene 2 are numbered 11-20.
