Hi, You can use runtime shared libraries for this case I guess. You have the symbols in smiles.swf. go to the library and for each symbol define the linkage and set it to Export for runtime sharing.
Then open the main movie and do Import>Open External Library and drag the icon on stage and delete it Now you can use those symbols in main movie.
