See movie clips in the main timeline?

Is it possible to view the position of elements in the main timeline that are held within a movie clip. For example all elements must be at frame one in order to see the movie content. If A space was given in the movie clip, we would not be able to see the position of elements, hope all this makes sense, but is it possible.

I have navigational buttons held within a movie clip. The buttons come with a animation, and start at frame three in the movieclip, except I need to position this acurately with the rest of my design, but dont have a visual for this.

Hopefully someone can explain.

just temporarily copy and paste in place the clip in frame 3 in frame 1 and use that to position it however you need, then delete it when done. :slight_smile: will that work?
