Hey All,

I’ve just spent ages making a flash file for a movie and when I export as a swf., it all goes well but when exported as a .mov file with quicktime, it only animates the main timeline. Any hidden timelines in movie clip symbols aI have created are not playing, of which there is a heap which it is not feasable for me to bring them into the main timeline. :ko:

ARRGGHHH!!!

. . . any help ? ? ? :krazy:

THANKS!!!
