I’m pushing my luck here.

I know you can evaluate the total frames of an entire movie (read: swf) with \_totalframes.

I know you can evaluate the total frames of an mc with instancename.\_totalframes.

Does anybody know how to evaluate the totalframes of a single scene within a movie?

scenename.\_totalframes does not seem to work

Thanks

Hmmm, I honestly never though of or tried that.

I doubt it will work but maybe this.\_totalframes on a frame in the scene.

I NEVER use scenes, but I guess a solution would be, if you are in \_root…

origFrame = \_currentframe;  
gotoAndStop(“sceneWhatever”, 1);  
startFrame = \_currentframe;  
nextScene();  
endFrame = \_currentframe;  
gotoAndStop(origFrame);

sceneFrames = endFrame - startFrame;

… then again thats a guess.
