Do movie clips create problems when nested?

I’m having a serious problem all of a sudden with movie clips not playing that had previously played for weeks and have not been modified (I have been working on other parts).

These clips have some animation in them, then they are placed into a scene. They are nothing spectacular, fairly simple animation.

Since they are nested, could this be causing the problem?

I seemed to notice this when I added a 4th scene to the movie. Could the size of the flash file be an issue? Or number of scenes? Right now the size of the flash file is 540k, the swf is only 48k though.

I tried pulling out one of the scenes and running it alone, and it still seems to have the same problem… a clip that animated doesn’t do it. When I go into the clip itself, it runs fine. But in the movie where it is placed…it doesn’t.

Is file corruption a possibility? I’m really grasping at straws here, all of a sudden stuff is not working and I have to deliver it today. :cantlook::crying:
