Hi i need some help with a website that Im doing ( http://www.elementsdesign.net/test.html ) I has the home scene with no problem at all but when I press the button of "LOCATION" to go from "Home" scene to another scene the transition is not smooth at all and I ending with a black space between scenes. Tha actionscript that I had for the button is on (rollOver)
{
gotoAndPlay(10);
}

on (rollOut)
{
gotoAndPlay(16);
}
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("dolce flasdh_Service copy.swf", 0);
}

Can anybody help thank you

why use scenes at all? (i don't). If i were you I'd do several things;

1. leave your navigation (non-changing elements of your flash movie) alone and load the separate areas into container mc's (kirupa.com has an excellent tute on creating a full flash site if you're not familiar with container mc's, transitions, etc.)

2. check to make sure you're using symbols for anything that is tweened. Actually I make everything a symbol for the most part... don't know it that helps load time, i just do it, but it will definitely make your tweens smoother, in fact it's a neccesity.

3. embed any fonts that aren't in static text boxes. i'd invest in a pixel font (fontsforflash.com- $20.00), some of your fonts are going psycho on you and look bad.

4. maybe try some easing on your tweens.. they look a little "jerky."

probably more advice than you wanted. I would stay away from scenes if I were you though... check out that tute at kirupa.... hope that helps!
