I created a 3d animation, put it in its own movieclip, and want to add two of them to the stage. Since they’re in different locations, the animation looks different; I assume because the perspective registers around the stages vanishing point. I want both to look the exact same. The only solution I could think of was exporting the animation as an swf and importing that clip, and instantiating those seperately. The problem I am having with this is when I click import to library and choose the swf, nothing happens. There is no error, and no files are added to the library.

1. What am I doing wrong with the importing?
2. Is there a different/better way to make these multiple instances look the same in the final video?
