Best way to manage your fla structure

erm, maybe this is an old question, but i wonder wich is the best way to manage your fla.
For instance, for me the best way should be to divide into scenes the different areas. One scene for pre-loader, then “home”, then portfolio, etc… but as i worked with flash 4 and 5 i get so many probs that i went to all in one. one single timeline with lot’s of movies.
Is there any info about this? tutorial? thread?

Another thing, i’ve done the tut (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/externaldata.htm) and it work fine but i use portuguese characters and they don’t appear correctly in swf. If i make some text inside flash it works ok, it only happens with external txt files… any workaround?

thanks for any help on this :slight_smile:

cheers
