Hi everyone,

While trying some stuff, I found out that registry doesn’t work when you start scene later on.

So here is an example code about it. Just try this one on [labs](http://labs.phaser.io/view.html?src=src%5Cscenes%5Cregistry%20data%20exchange.js).

On the link you can see it’s working when you add scenes as `active: true` but it doesn’t work when i use it like below.

So any ideas?

```javascript
var SceneA = new Phaser.Class({
    Extends: Phaser.Scene,
    initialize: function SceneA() {
        Phaser.Scene.call(this, { key: 'SceneA' });
        this.score = 0;
    },
    create: function() {
        this.scene.start('SceneB');
        this.registry.set('score', this.score);
        this.time.addEvent({
            delay: 500,
            callback: this.onEvent,
            callbackScope: this,
            loop: true,
        });
    },
    onEvent: function() {
        this.score++;
        this.registry.set('score', this.score);
    },
});
var SceneB = new Phaser.Class({
    Extends: Phaser.Scene,
    initialize: function SceneB() {
        Phaser.Scene.call(this, { key: 'SceneB' });
        this.text;
    },
    create: function() {
        this.text = this.add.text(100, 100, 'Monitoring Registry');
        this.registry.events.on('changedata', this.updateScore, this);
    },
    updateScore: function(parent, key, data) {
        this.text.setText('Score: ' + data);
    },
});
var config = {
    type: Phaser.AUTO,
    width: 800,
    height: 600,
    backgroundColor: '#2d2d2d',
    parent: 'phaser-example',
    //scene: [SceneA, SceneB]
};
const game = new Phaser.Game(config);
game.scene.add('SceneA', SceneA, true);
game.scene.add('SceneB', SceneB);

```

Doesn’t look like a bug, actually. `this.scene.start`, which you use in `SceneA`, [shuts down the scene that called it](https://photonstorm.github.io/phaser3-docs/Phaser.Scenes.ScenePlugin.html#start__anchor), which removes your timer event. If you use `this.scene.launch`, which [starts a new scene in parallel](https://photonstorm.github.io/phaser3-docs/Phaser.Scenes.ScenePlugin.html#launch__anchor), it works correctly no matter how you add the scenes.
