In clip_mc I have timeline animation. When it finished I should change countN++ on main timeline. I tested as you suggested. I created ClipClass.as (just added import flash.display.MovieClip; )
on main timeline I have code var clip_mc:MovieClip=new ClipClass(); // linkage with name ClipClass in library addChild(clip_mc); Now that does not work 1017: The definition of base class MovieClip was not found. 5000: The class 'ClipClass' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.
