Hello everyone!
I know that there has been no update for a long time... I already explain, but first I wanted to wish you - my beloved fans (and not only) - a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. :) Do you have any New Year's resolutions?
Recent situations (which affected me in December):
- I had a lot of work (in my dream new job) :P - the end of the year and related events,
- two weeks ago I finished - Scene 15, but it turned out that the animation stops strangely in the same place - it was a big problem,
- I did a drastic optimization and I divided the animation into individual scenes (earlier the action was in one scene - convenient navigation through them), I thought that was the reason,
- It turned out to be something completely different - well, Adobe Animate has limitations: "16,000 frames: When targeting Flash Player, exceeding this limit causes the movie playback to stop. While most developers never reach this limit, it is possible..." - I also experienced it.
Together with @MariogD we have come to the necessary conclusion - we have to divide our wonderful Reduce 2 animation, and it will be as follows:
- Reduce 2 - Part I (it will contain scenes 1-9, and on the stage selector there will be a button for the second part with the inscription "Comming soon", and if both parts are ready then there will be a link),
- Reduce 2 - Part II (it will contain scenes 10-21 (two scenes are only a few seconds), and on the stage selector there will be a button for the first part with the inscription "Go to Reduce - Part I").
The necessary steps that you need to do to finish (this will be in January - @Cyberdevil tell you when it's best to do it) - Reduce 2 - Part I:
- change the logo in the main menu - from Reduce 2 to Reduce 2 - Part I (DONE),
- change the film reel (to navigate the scenes) as described above (IN PROGRESS),
- create final credits (all final information - as usual in final credits) (IN PROGRESS),
- conduct tests - are there any errors or irregularities (with your participation) (TO DO).
Tell me what you think about all this - I hope you are not angry, that I have not spoken for so long...

Sounds like you solved the problem in the best possible way after all! One other thought that comes to mind is maybe including the two parts as movie clips within the same file, and linking between those? Or loading .swf files externally into one main .swf? I've never managed to get such a thing working for anything other than images though, and maybe it's especially difficult with the AS code you have for things like quality toggles etc. Just an idea. Two parts would work just as well.
Also, best change that Comming soon to Coming soon. :P
Merry Christmas to you too, and a Happy New Year in a bit! No worries about the delay, it's been a bit hectic over here too.

Yes, but I think we made the right decision because it looks like the animation would be too long and could be badly received - only the persistent would reach the end.
Thank you for your wishes :P, and how much work do you have? You haven't had time to create something lately?
Warning! I collect suggestions for final credits - in what form are they to be presented? I collect suggestions.
