Import .swf animation to maintimeline

i have this problem…i made quite a simple animation which includes also movieclips. Then i published it to .swf. So i got well working .swf to play in Flash Player… but when i imported that .swf-file back to flash it doesn`t give whole animation to timeline. Usually it give all frames to one layer. Now it just give those frames which was in .fla main timeline…
This situation is quite difficult to explain… but is it possible to publish/export .fla animation and import that .swf back to flash timeline so that whole animation comes frame by frame to maintimeline?!? Hope someone understood what i tried to ask!? :thumb:

Hi iisakki, let me see if I understand. You created a file in flash and then you exported to SWF (but did not keep the FLA file). THen you tried to import the SWF and you found that it does not act the same way that the FLA file originally acted. Is this accurate?
