Flash Will Not Publish SWF

:mad; I created a presentation using scenes. I added jpegs to the scenes and
movie clips in the scenes. I use a movie clip to create a photo gallery. I
close flash to work on something else. Then I re-open flash to work on the
presentation again and all of my jpegs in the movie clip are missing. I click
on them in the library and there is nothing in the preview window. Then I try
to publish the swf and that disappears from the file folder! What the hell is
wrong? This happened when I had the trial version and now with the official
version!
How can pics and swf's just disappear?

Maybe there is some conflict between software on your computer.
I've been using Flash for afew years now, and the only times it did something
close to what you've described, it was because it crashed, memory problems, or
conflicts with scratch disks.

This is why you should superGlue your fingers to the Ctrl+S everytime you use
any design software.

Since im here...i'd like to suggest to you NOT to use scenes. Whatever you use
scenes for, im sure you can do the exact same thing with multiple movieClip.
Scenes most likely will cause you troubles. Scenes are EVIL in Flash.

P.S. Im not saying that your problem was caused by scenes...but im telling you
to avoid using scenes, to avoid future problems you might run into.
