Best way is to use different Flash files for each section. Check out the
MovieClipLoader class. Best to stay away from scenes unless you're doing
things like comic book animation where scenes work well. They are not good
for building a web site though.

Hi, I am building my first Flash site, but I got some problem, hope anyone can
help me here.

I am building a menu on the left and the content on the right. I want the
menu half to stay but when the buttons are push; the content side will change
accordingly.

The question I am asking is what kind of action script am I looking, is it
different graphic? Different flash file (import)? Or different scene.

Thanks for you time and help

Hi,

Don't mean to muscle in on this thread, but I was looking for similar
answers a couple weeks back. I did find info that scenes added a lot of
bytes to a file, but that is as much info on how to layout the site as
I could find.

I didn't use separate swf, but just a movie clip for the page
background dragged to the main timeline five times. I use action script
and attachMovie to put the content on each page.

Is there a pitfall to this method (it seems it would otherwise be a
smaller file size?) or an advantage to separate swf's?

I have just started working with Flash and appreciate your expert
feedback.

Thanx,

Sue
