scene to movie clip...

[michelle]

Is there a way to turn each individual scene into a movie clip? Would it simply involve inserting a new movie clip symbol and copy & pasting all frames to the new MC symbol?

Then would I just drag all the MCs to one timeline? Secondly, how would the first MC know to go on and play the second MC? What I mean is, would frame labels or would the gotoAndPlay ("frame label") method work to connect all these MCs, that I'd incorporate from all the different scenes, in one, long timeline???

Can someone please explain this if I am on the right track??

thnx,

michelle

u can publish each scene alon (Ctrl+Shift+Enter) or (Control>Test Scene )
then, rename them and u can load them as external swfs

Hi,

Select all frames in the scene.
Right click and choose COPY FRAMES

Open a new MC
Paste frames

On the main timeline just have two scenes:
preloader
and
Main

In the main scene...place ur different MCs on different keyframes.
Each keyframe will have a stop() action and a label.

On the last frame of each MC, place the action:
_root.gotoAndStop ("some_frame_label")

So after each MC finishes playing...the root timeline gets forwarded.

Hope that helps
