All I want is to have a man blink.

The man is a symbol, and there is another symbol inside of him. (his eyes.) Which I already set to blink.

Anyways… It doesn’t work. It works when I preview it in symbol editing mode, but nothing else.

I am sorry if I was too vague, I’m still learning. Any help?
