Scene 1+Scene 2 = Frustration!

[hp_vip]

I have my animated movie on scene 1 and on scene two I have a "menu" for people to navigate through my site. This is how my flash movie is setup: I have a preloader for my animation in one layer, my animation in another layer, and below that a layer with an empty keyframe in frame 1 with actionscript that reads:

gotoAndPlay ("Scene 2", 1);

Well, the frustration comes when I play the movie and the only thing that I see is scene 2, and not my animation on scene 1. Is there anyway I can display both at the same time? My purpose is to load my menu before the animation. Any 411 will be appreciated, thanks!

convert your animation that you want to play before going to the second scene as a movie clip and have this action in the last frame of your movie

_root.gotoAndPlay("Scene 2", "lablename");

use labels when you are targeting scene

Hope i am clear
