I import Movie Clips all the time without problems.

It was mentioned before but let me restate that when you drag a Movie

Clip on to a stage all you will see is the first frame. If you export it

(or Control > Test Movie) you will see the animation work. To see the

Mobie Clip's timeline you must go to the Library copy.


1) Select Instance Properties (Double click on it)

2) Select definition Tab

3) Edit


If this doesn't work then it is likely you have something wrong with

your installation of Flash or the FLAs.
