First of all, thank you for taking you time to reply.

I’m doing a cartoon. I’ve made a body and a head for a caracter.  
The HEAD is a symbol that blinks. When i export it it works fine,

on Macromedia player, but when i import it to Macromedia flash mx, the eyes dont blink, only the motion of the head works.

I can’t undestand it, it works in the player. The reason i want to import it again, is because i’m making every scene of the animated short film in a diferent FLA, and then compiling it all in one \*.fla

Hope you can help me out. I’ve search and search and nothing.
