CORRECTION (was Re: FLASH: copying whole movies?)

[Marc Hoffman]

Sorry, I confused two processes here.  Once you've selected Edit Multiple

Frames and set it to include all frames, what you'll be cutting and pasting

is Frames, not stage elements.  To paste the frames, start with a blank

movie clip or a blank movie.  Ctrl-Alt-V will paste the frames and retain

your original layers.

(ctrl-shift-V in Windows) in the new movie or in a movie clip.

settings -- it's a more sure-fire method.
