Movie clips not exporting with .avi

Hi everyone, I’m trying to export my cartoon but I’m having trouble.
The cartoon contains a few scenes all with different movie clips alongside the normal animation on the timeline, hardly any action script though.

I’ve tried various methods to make my movie clips work after exporting. I’ve tried compiling every movie clip in the library, all that happens then is they disappear from the main timeline, I’ve tried exporting video using .avi and .jpg at various settings, no matter what I do, I only get the main timeline animation to show in the exported video, not the movie clips I’ve placed here and there along the timeline.

The only way I see my movie clips is when exported as .swf, but adobe premiere pro, which I need to use according to school doesn’t understand .swf…

What am I doing wrong? I’ve even been exporting with no compression… do I have to copy frames from every movie clip in the whole thing and put them on the main timeline???
