hi,  
i made a movie(40 simple scenes), but when i add a few scenes including imported(embed) movie clips and publish movie, it suddenly doesnt work properly. all those simple (animated text and graphics) scenes stop on the first frame and thats it. i heard the problem could be in the size of movie clips because they are imported directly on the timeline. how do i play movie clips in a certain scene, so the movie size wont be too big, and everything will play like it should(actionscript?)? how do i play a movie indirectly so the siye of swf stays the same?

thank you
