I have a Flash CS3 movie I’m working on where the design contains two sections, a header and a body but in the same movie. You can see the current version of this movie here…

I need the “body” portion to loop while the “header” remains static. I tried creating 2 Scenes, Scene 1 being the header and Scene 2 the body. My intention was to use the gotoandplay() command to kick in the Scene 2 once Scene 1 finished its cycle and loop Scene 2. That didn’t work because once Scene 2 begins, the Scene 1 (the header) goes away completely.

Any suggestions on how to accomplish this? I don’t really care how. If creating separate Scenes is not the right approach, that’s fine. I just need it to work. I’m sure its a very simple task, just something I’ve not had to do up to this point in my Flash experience.

Thanks!
