well i just wanted a good guide for how to develop a large project. I don't know if it is acceptable to make one giant movie, or four big movies, or a stage with a bunch of maiws. this is in a small production environment (4 developers tops). Since we are new to programming in director (mostly web experience, heavy javascript ect.) i am not sure of my ability to decide which way to build a large project. I thought miaws were the way to go but had to regroup because we ran out of time to figure out how to run the sound from the stage without issues. -- carol
