Right. Where to start.  
1: Whenever I create a movieClip in flash 8 , if I try to edit it inside the movieClip the snapping doesn’t work.

2: Actionscript. Whenever I export anything it always ignores part of the actionscript. for example I was trying to duplicatMovieClip and when I exported it it duplicated once and but wouldn’t duplicate again. Code example:  
on (press) {  
i = i+1;  
duplicateMovieClip(\_root.circle, “circle”+i, i);  
}  
on the button and :  
onClipEvent (load) {  
scale = (random(100)+50);  
this.\_x = random(250);  
this.\_y = random(150);  
this.\_alpha = random(100);  
this.\_xscale = scale;  
this.\_yscale = scale;  
}  
on the movieClip. This was downloaded from a tutorial. Works on the source file but not on my own file.

Also I was increasing the \_xscale till it got to 100 then it was supposed to stop but it didn’t : if(\_xscale\>100){\_xscale=100}
