flash actionscript: My animation plays fine in scene 1 but when I go to scene 2 (where none of the
graphics, scripts, etc for the animation are located), the animation still
plays (at least part of it). Do I need to add some script to clear the scene
so each scene is independant of the others?

How are you adding the animation to the scene Tical?

Here is my script I'm using numstars = 20; speed = 5; star_field = new
Array(numstars); // x is x axis, y is y axis, z is speed of star function
star(x, y, speed) { this.x = x; this.y = y; this.speed = speed; } for (i=0;
i<numstars; i++) { star_field = new star(random(800), random(600),
random(speed)+1); duplicateMovieClip('star', 'star_' add i, i+10); } for
(i=0; i<numstars; i++) { star_field.x += star_field.speed; if
(star_field.x>800) { star_field.x = 0; } setProperty('star_' add i, _x,
star_field.x); setProperty('star_' add i, _y, star_field.y); } This animation
is a starfield script I borrowed that I incorporated our company logo into. I
want this to go away when i go to the next scene and what happens when i change
scenes is that the starfield animation shows up on thenext scene but is frozen
as a background image. I want the background to be clean when I change scenes.
