Hi. I am new so please forgive my ignorance.
I was noodling around with Swish and wanted to insert a little animated text onto a page.
I want it to start say, 16 seconds after the
page loads. My Swish Timelines always give
me 200 frames (at 20 frames per second this
would come to 10 seconds). Thus I thought
perhaps to add a blank scene ("pre-scene")
and then have my little animation begin at
frame 120 of the "2nd" scene.

Is it possible to increase the number of frames in a given scene, or must
one add empty scenes to stretch time?

Also, anyone have any good suggestions to
ease the pain of learning Flash? Any good
tutorial sites or other means?

Swish is great. Thanks in advance.
