I have been searching on this for a while but I must not be using the right search terms - I hope this question is simple and someone could answer it for me:
When flash moves the playhead from frame to frame are all the movieclips from the ‘old’ frame removed from the display list?
Context is simple game development - I have some simple pages for main menu, select level, help etc. But the main play page will be actionscript controlled. If the ‘playpage’ movieclip is added on the timeline of the main movie (and then everything else added to that in actionscript), when the playhead of the main movie moves on to another frame is the old frame removed from the display list in an equivalent way to removeChild? or is it better to have nothing on that ‘play page’ frame and add everything in actionscript, and then remove it again when it changes frame (say to level-complete frame). I wouldn’t want all the movieclips added to the playpage rendering away in the background when it is not on that frame.
Many thanks.
