In a sense, scenes don't make pages, you would still have to include a stop(); action to make playback stop on those scenes, and you could do that just as well within one scene, perhaps by having some frame labels, and a stop(); action on each label's frame. You can add a keyframe in the layer you are using for that script, and have several stop(); points along the timeline.

If you're not doing multitouch, and a mousedown works fine, there's no need to use touch events. You can just use mouse events, but also use gesture events too.

One advantage of using mouse events is that the same swf would work in a browser.

okok thanks for the response,

would a scene require more storage or space? as in if it was published would the size of a file be a concern?

I doubt that it would be any significant amount different in size. You could fairly easily test that. I've used scenes with apps that have a lot of animation in them, where by the nature of the animation it was more convenient to break the story up into scenes. I haven't used scenes for just setting up a few destination pages, for that I would just do it in one scene. Having it in one scene allows you to easily have some interface elements be shared across more than one of your screen layouts.
