nextScene()

[the_daddy]

Now please don't shoot me down for this being posted on the Actionscript forum as I am fully aware that this is a mainly Director issue... however I have come to no other alternative than to seek you kind people's help! I seriously have been searching for hours to find the answer to this.

Basically I am sending variables from Flash to Director.. no problem there... and then my Lingo basically performs an action based on the variable received.. again no problem there.. however when I attempt to "tell" another Flash movie to play the nextScene() it gives me a big old handler error...

I know that nextFrame() works and this is proved in my movie but I just wondered if anyone could give me a definative answer that it is either possible or not to use nextScene!!

Also if anyone knows of a good Director forum that I can post this up to I would be most grateful!

Cheers in advance guys and girls!

the macromedia director forum is good

I would advise against using scenes for anything - they just cause problems

instead, lay all your content on one timeline and separate them with frame labels

cheers

Thanks for your response! I cant believe I didnt think of the Macromedia forum! Doh! Moment of madness!

Just out of interest though why should I beware of using Scenes? Seems like a logical way of organising your work...?

they can cause unexplainable problems with your actionscript...
