How to exchange Scenes in Flash?

[Adia16]

Hiya. I'm a newbie at Flash and I've recently begun making Flash movies at home. Because I orignally have used Flash 5 on my school computer, I was in the center of creating one movie at home when I got bored at school and started another scene in another file.

What I would like to know is: is it possible to transfer one scene with Flash in two seperate files to each other? I looked this up before and heard to copy the frames in the time line then paste the into a new scene, but because both files have identical symbol/layer names (e.g., bg, skin, ect.) I didn't write over the symbols, so many of the files were interchanged and misplaced in the school scene.

After that, I thought to rename all the layers and files and then go one from there, but the files continued to interchange, causing much disorganization. Should I put the files in different folders? Please help me, and thanks for your time.

Sincerely
Adia

Renaming all duplicate symbols in the library of the second movie should do the trick, and permit you to copy all frames of one scene in the second movie, to a new scene in the first movie. You don't need to rename the layers of the new scene, in fact you don't even add layers, you just paste the frames and all relevant layers will be created accordingly.

*Sigh* That's what I tried. I don't understand why it still does it. Thanks anyway.

Does anybody have any idea?
