Hi,

I wasnt sure where to post this thread as its more of a general question but im using FMX 2004, im new to 2004, but ive been using MX for a while. Anyway Im in charge of putting together an Information Kiosk for a University project and Im unsure on the architecture. of the Kiosk app. In particular, whether i should be using Scenes (as I know they are frowned upon) with simple 'goto' scripting or container clips.

Essentially the content for the Kiosk has been divided up into 3 main areas; Facilities, Events, Activities and within these areas there are sub-areas and so on. For example: The breadcrumb for the facilities area looks something like this Home > Facilities > Aquatics > Diving Pool. In this instance the breadcrumb indicates the typical steps taken by a user navigating through the Kiosk app to find information on the Diving Pool.

My question to you, if i may, is whether i should divide each of these sections into seperate Scene's and mainly used timeline based scripting i.e.
code:




facilities.onPress = function(){

gotoAndPlay("facilities", 1);

}



Or I just keep loading different MovieClips into a container clip i.e.
code:




facilities.onPress = function(){

_root.content.unloadMovie();

_root.content.loadMovie("facilities.swf");

}


The reason why i ask is because Im low on time (+im not getting paid) , and I will be using Server-Side script to load some dynamic data (mainly text) and im trying to make the whole app as compact as possible...

Any advice GREATLY appreciated
