One Scene Works, Next Scene Doesnt

have built a demonstration of a medical aparatus -

first half of demo works great - buttons work, action script works, timeline
runs normal
in the second half of the demo - buttons works, action script is the same, but
the timelines dont run
when the button is released, they do go to the proper scene but stop on the
first frame (or whatever frame is scripted)but still does not run

its as if something is preventing the second half timelines from running

I have checked every symbol, every tween, every script on every scene -
everything appears to be correct

ANY suggestions - I would greatly be appreciative

Hi Datanim,

I STRONGLY recommend you stop using SCENES in Flash. Instead separate your
movie by using MovieClips along the root timeline.

Scenes are absolutely evil in Flash.

Just copy the whole timeline in your other scenes, and paste it inside a
movieClip symbol, then place it in your first scene, after your first part is
finished.
Then adjust your actionscript. Which should be quite easy, it's just a matter
of re-directing where your buttons point to.

This is the best advice i can give you regarding your troubles. Scenes are
EVIL. Its abit extra work for you, but at least you will have a working movie.

Good Luck.
