Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to read this subject.

I’m trying to have a movie clip play, but for some reason it’s not playing. I have the main timeline, and I place on frame No. 6 the movie clip I want to play and I have another layer with the text I wanted to display, but when I preview the movie it’t not showing up, the only thing I see is the Text. I would really appreciate all the help you can provide.

Thanks in advance for any response,

Try zipping it up and then posting it. If that still doesn’t work then PM me and I’ll give you my email address.
