Flash Animation 10: Creating a New Scene

Creating a New Scene

You'll instantly be placed on a blank canvas (mine's black because that's my document color) labeled "Scene 2"; it will look like Scene 1 has completely vanished, but don't panic. If you look to the far right of the bar above the stage but below the timeline, there are three buttons: one a dropdown that shows the zoom percentage, one that looks like geometric shapes with a black arrow on the lower right hand corner that expands to show a list of all objects in the scene, and one that looks like a little icon of a director's clapboard with another arrow in the right-hand corner. Clicking on that one will expand to show a list of all scenes in the movie, with the current one checked; you can click on any one in the list to switch to it.
