I learned that the problem with my current approach. If a parent loads a child, none of the clips in the child's library
can be attached to the parent's timeline and vice-versa. >From Ian Thomas that "in AS2, you can't attach a symbol from one .SWF's library into another movie's timeline." He says "The only exception is when using shared libraries." And Fumio Nonaka pointed out this kb article: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15638&slice Id=2 "Instances of imported symbols must be manually placed on the Timeline during authoring." So, I'm ready to try this shared library approach. The problem is, I've never used a shared library before and I just don't get it. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to set up a test for my main problem?
