Re: Here's a question that really gets to the core

[Jason Nugent]

	Hey Poet,


	In flash3 there are three basic kinds of symbols - graphics, 

buttons, and movie clips.  It is this last one that David was refering to 

in his post.  A movie clip has its own time-line outside of the regular 

movie so it animates without help.

	Basically, create your symbol as a movie clip, animate it the way 

you normally would in a regular timeline and place it in your movie.  You 

don't even have to add anything else to your movie since your movie clip 

will continue to animate even if the main movie hits its last frame.

	Remember, though, that you can only see your animated movie clips 

working when you export the movie or view it in "test" mode.


		Hope that helps,


			Jason
