text movie control

[spindlelegs]

All,

Is it possible using the test movie in Flash MX to only test a section/part of the timeline. Basically, I have very long t/line and perfecting the end of it means I have to run through the whole damn thing.

Ideas anyone?

A sloppy way of doing it would be copying/pasting the frames that you need into a new movie file and testing just that sequence.

Unless I'm misunderstanding the problem.

If you can do this without messing up any constant audio, you might try dividing the movie up into scenes.

When you have multiple scenes, you can test them separately. When you publish the whole movie, it's the same as if you hadn't divided the movie into scenes.


Or, if you don't care about the time it takes to publish, you could use gotoAndPlay() at the beginning of your movie and tell it to go to a labeled keyframe.
