Hi,  
I have more than one scene in my movie (not external swf) and a few buttons (pause and stop buttons) which have to be visible on all scenes. Is there any method to fix them on the same place in all scenes, or I have to put them on every scene manually?

Thanks 🙂

wait a minute… may be you can put all the buttons into a movieclip and then attach it at the first frame of scene 1 using attachMovie()…that way the buttons will be there in all the scenes till u remove it using removeMovieclip()

scenes are basically just frames, kept seperate to help you visualize and keep things ordered. scenes are good for when things change a lot, if you have persistent items (i.e. buttons), use frames (with labels) in a single scene rather than mutiple scenes.
