I am new to Flash and have created two scenes in different fla files. Is it possible to copy a scene from one fla file to another so both scenes are in the same fla file?

I don’t think there is a way to directly copy a scene…

that said, what you can do, is to CRTL+ALT+C = copy frames, from your first .fla…

then CRTL+ALT+V = paste frames, into the desired place in your second .fla…

voila… you have all your info in 1 movie…

or you can use the loadMovie() method to load swfs into each other… which is my prefered method of constructing sites anyway. 🙂
