Hi,  
If you have a fairly lengthy interactive presentation with nested movide clips do you have to test compile every time and start at the beginning to check out your progress?

If you have a few movieclips with text lines that scale up to form a list of points on screen, how do you easily align them on the main time line as you cannot see the end frames of the nested animations?

Any working methods will be appreciated! Paul
