Here’s the deal… I built an entire portfolio/website in scenes and I’ve spent so much un-needed time making sure there were no conflicts and everything worked properly.

But the scenes keep breaking! right now everytime I move to a different scene it stops BY ITSELF on frame 1, there are no actions telling it to stop… it just feels like stopping!

Lesson learned, scenes suck, load movie rules

AGH, the order I had the scenes in was the problem… YES the order of the scenes in the SCENES WINDOW.

WTF?

the order the scenes are in is the order the scenes play in.

Scenes are evil… thats why loadMovie() and loadMovieNum() were invented 😉

well the way I have it, buttons and clips go to and play different named scenes… there’s no order, not like a “Go to next scene”, “Go to previous scene”

Is that part of the reason its screwing up?

Well Flash is idiotic when it comes to playing scenes. You can only actually use gotoAndPlay to go to a scene if you call it from the main timeline.

The most efficient way to change scenes is to give the first frame in each scene a frame label and target that timeline and use gotoAndPlay(“frameLabelName”) .

But either way, I never recommend using scenes.

Are you using gotoAndStop() or gotoAndPlay() when changing scenes?

Even though scenes are retarded, I really don’t see why it would be stopping on frame 1 of the scene without being told to stop via a stop() action.
