The issue is that using "Align" on movie clips with no content in the first
frame makes this happen. Flash uses the positive content in the movie clip's
first frame to execute the Align command, and having no content at all in
this frame makes this fail.

The solutions:

1. Don't use align on these movie clips.
2. Put some content in the first frame of the movie clips, then use Align,
then delete the content.

I'm sure there are other workarounds, but it's pretty easy to make this
work.

HTH,

Matt
