Re: [flasher] Communicate between movie clips

[Muzak]

When published, Scenes no longer excist in the SWF movie. So the main timeline becomes one long timeline of all your scenes 1 after

the other. So, if your first scene has 20 frames, the next scene actually starts at frame 21 - So frame 1 of the second scene

becomes frame 21.


To avoid all this, use frame labels instead of frame numbers. Just name every first keyframe of every scene - something like

"preloader", "main", etc...


_root.gotoAndStop("main");


this will direct the movie to the beginning of scene 2 (assuming you named the first keyframe in scene 2: main)
