I'm working on a Flash project in school right now, and I need to be able to watch individual scenes. The only way to watch anything is to hit CTRL+Enter, but that plays the movie from start to finish. How do I play the individual scene I'm working on?
I'm using Flash CS3 if it makes a difference. |

Well, it depends what you want to do, really...
To stop a frame dead in it's tracks, click it, press F9. Type:
to make it pause.
If you want to make a button, press F8 on it to convert to symbol, select button and type a name...
Then select the button, press F9. Insert this code:
| Code: | on (release){
(_root.gotoAndPlay(1, "scenename"));
} |
Let me know if anything happens! |

Well, when I mean that, I meant to watch it while I'm in edit mode, not actual playing mode. Like, if I changed just one or two frames, I don't want yo watch just the part I changed. |

I'm not quite sure what you mean...you just want to watch a couple frames?
When in "edit mode", just hit enter, press again when you want to stop. |

What I mean is...
Okay, I have about 18 scenes in this movie, and I only want to watch scene 7 to see if my editing paid off. |

Ah, then go to the scene you want to preview. On the menu bar, go to "Control" Then "Test Scene". The shortcut is ctrl+alt+enter. Hope it helps you! |

Okay, new dilemma. How do I delete a scene? I'm looking all over and can't find the option. |

Aha! To delete a scene, you need to have the scene window open (Shift+F2).
There should be a list of current scenes, highlight one and press the button with a trashcan on it, or right click and select "delete". |
