    Arrow Help! SWF files not showing properly!

    Hello,
    I'm creating an educational demo containing several scenes. Each time that I create the scene and publish it as a SWF to check, shows properly but when later on I check the scene through Flash player or Flash itself doesn't! It looks like showing only some frames and not all the actions. For instance, it misses all the transitions like fading in and out, movings and etc. When I also check the previous scenes, created before, get the same problems and not showing properly. The Flash file is okay and everything looks okay but the SWF files get problems. I even installed the new Flash player, just in case, but didn't work!!!

    Can anybody tell me what this problem is and where this is coming from?
    Appreciate, appreciate, appreciate!!!

    Best,
    Mojy

    Scenes are bad, and no one will advice you to use them, even the creators of Flash themselves don't like Scenes, but since some people still tend to use them, they haven't removed the feature. Switch to Frames, just have everything in ONE Scene, and make it go to other Frames instead of Scenes, and you'll probably not encounter any problems

    Really!!! There are 10 scenes that I've created already and still 6 more to go....What is the easiest way to convert them to frames. Not sure but it's going to be so messy to have all these in one scene!!! Don't you think so?

    Wink

    I do know MC but I've never converted a scene to a MC. On each scene I have buttons that take the viewer to the next and previous scenes. What the the coding should be now, as I'm using MC, to the next and previous one? Could you help me out with this?

    Thanks so much.

    Instead, just use gotoAndStop(); or nextFrame();/prevFrame(); to browse between frames :P

    gotoAndStop when targeting only a frame, would look like this:

    gotoAndStop(frame_number);

    Example:

    gotoAndStop(2);

    Yes, you would use loadMovieNum or loadMovie, but you will have to somehow tell your main flash from the SWF movies, that the SWF movie has finished playing, because Flash doesn't know when your SWF video has finished playing.
