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? 

 

Thanks,

 

Chris Bell
