background in flash CS 3
I am taking a flash class, and my teacher tells me that I should make a separate layer, and use that for my background instead of using the background in the properties inspector.
My question if everything gets compiled to the swf file why is this necessary??
Thanks,
Johnny

^It is just for the sake of keeping the flash file clean so it is easier to edit.

NOTE: You shouldn't have to many layers either, more like
Main Stuff
Background
Sounds
Actions
and not
Main Character
Enemy1
Enemy2
Boom Sound
Bang
Gun
Trees
Terrain
Some Actions
Some more Actions
A bit of a background
More Backgrounds
Last layer of Backgrounds

Hi pseudobot,
Thanks for your help`-`
Yikes, looks like I need to tone down my layers. Thanks so much for your help. A friend in my class actually asked me why I had layers for everything. Told me to have layers for a reason, as if you don't need them don't use them.
I also learnt about copy the last few frames of a scene and copy them into your next scene so you don't have a stop in the animation. Flash is cool`-` He also told me to not have scenes if you don't need them too.
I just got Flash CS 3 Bible, and I will be reading this this weekend. Not sure if it is the best flash design book,but it looks cool. The library at school had it`-` I am into flash animation, and I am working on a cartoon about turtles.
Thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate it so much`-`

No prob.
Anyway, he is definitely right about the scenes. Whenever possible, don't use them. They are very unreliable.
