I’m interested in how people approach this:
Lets say I’m building an animation intensive website and I want to keep my code centralized on the first frame of the main timeline. Most of the intro animations (like building the sites common elements such as menu, header, etc…) have to be done on a timeline since they are pretty complex. Would you keep the main timeline with only one frame and attach the animations via actionscript, or would you place the intro animations on the main timeline, stretching it out?
I usually place the intro and common element setups all on the main timeline cause that gives me more control on linking animations together. For example: the intro plays, then the menu loads in, then some special effects popup, and then the home content is loaded in. But since some people advocate for single frame main timelines, I’m wondering if there is a better approach.
