In short, I don't know - never tried using the container mc idea. Thinking about it, though, I suspect that you won't be able to access the subclips via new MySubClipSymbolID(); however, if you instantiate the containing clip (new MyTopLevelSymbolID() or whatever) you may be able to access the children via getChildAt() etc. That's probably not a hugely useful thing to be able to do, though. I'm guessing it's most useful to embed each symbol.
