[ ++ file size ]

s b i · 01-15-2001, 06:57 PM

hi.. i have a quick question. is the final file size smaller if i use buttons to go to different scenes.. or if i have it gotoAndPlay a frame number within that scene.. or does it matter?

You just will increase size of your movie on size of button

i guess i wasn't clear enough. what i meant was.. is the overall size of the .swf larger if you use scenes for the destinations of the buttons when clicked.. or is it better to just have the buttons gotoAndPlay a keyframe at a different point in the main timeline...

the difference should be negligible.
my preference would be to stick to code. and load and unload diferent movies instead of different scenes. keeps things more modular--easier to edit/manage etc.

s b i,

The file size of your swf shouldn't be bigger if you have more scenes... it would be the same if you had the same exact tweens and symbols in your library if you had it all on one scene...flash is cool like that
