Not much to go by here Rusty,


Do you have a sample on the web.

Are you sure, after pasting the frames into the MC, that the first few

frames where blank?

If the first few frames of an MC are blank you will only see a white dot

or(if selected) a small

crosshair to represent the MC on the MTL.


Be sure you, A: name your MC with an "instance" and B:, provide labels in

the MC for your MTL action keyframes to communicate with.


Like I said, not much to go on, but these are the basics of MC

communication.
