Scene

To organize a document thematically, you can use scenes. For example, you might use separate scenes for an introduction, a loading message, and credits.

Note: You cannot use scenes in a screen-based document.

When you publish a Flash document that contains more than one scene, the scenes in the document play back in the order they are listed in the Scene panel in the Flash document. Frames in the document are numbered consecutively through scenes. For example, if a document contains two scenes with ten frames each, the frames in Scene 2 are numbered 11-20.

You can add, delete, duplicate, rename, and change the order of scenes.

To stop or pause a document after each scene, or to let users navigate the document in a nonlinear fashion, you use actions.
