I wonder how to solve this problem.
I have a long movieclip that starts in scene one. When the movie jumps to scene two the movieclip starts playing from the beginning again.
Is there a way to make the clip continue where it was when you jump to scene two?
I think I read about it somewhere but now when I really need it I can’t find it ☹

About your problem: How about making that movieclip an independant movie? I mean, another .swf to be loaded upon the main movie.
That way the change of the scenes won´t affect that movieclip.

Thank you 🙂
Maybe that could be a possible solution. But I’m pretty sure it could be done with a script as well…
I don’t know… I’m still a Flash beginner 🙂

Haha… hmmm… that actually works.
Not what I would call a “simple” solution… especially since my clip is long… but iy works 🙂
Big thanks!!!
