flash (alternate) : Flash question
I'm making a flash movie that has 8 scenes. When the web page opens, the background of the movie fades in and out between different photos. these photos take up the entire background. The fading part is a movie clip that lives in scene one. There are 7 links. When someone clicks on a link they are taken to another scene. The problem is, when they click to a new scene, the movie clip, also in scene two, begins from the beginning and it looks terrible. I'm working off a flash file that someone before me made. I read where it's not too smart to have scenes. Or it's just not the best way. Is there a way to put this movie clip in every scene yet not have it jump back to the beginning when you click to a new scene? Here is the old flash movie that I'm working from. As you can see the background image remains the same throughout each scene. When you click on Undergraduate Studies, you are taken to a new scene. http://aem.cornell.edu Thanks
your answer is as old as flash itself (since version 4)

have to put a stop action to the very last frame of the clip to avoid
jumping to beginning?
