hi everyone, this is my first post.

I am trying to import a fairly complex swf file into a new flash project.

here is the flash file:  
[http://www.spiralvista.co.nz/flash/cube\_final.html](http://www.spiralvista.co.nz/flash/cube_final.html)

when i import it into my library, I can see the new imported symbol.

when I drag this onto my stage I get this:  
[http://www.spiralvista.co.nz/flash/import\_try.html](http://www.spiralvista.co.nz/flash/import_try.html)

can someone suggest a better way to get my swf file into my new flash project. I am new to as3. when all is done I would like to have a preloader so I expect I may need to know totalbytes etc…

Thanks, great forum.
