Hey all,

I have a bit of an odd question.  I'm working on a project in which I'd like to 
include some 
somewhat intricate Flash animations... unfortunately... (sort of)... I'm 
working on one of 
those new MacBook Pros, with the Intel chip.  No Flash 9 AS3 preview for me.

I'd like to keep moving on the project, but as you probably know, Adobe is not 
shipping 
(and therefor not making available for download?) the new Flash CS3 until the 
end of April.

So I'm wondering, is it possible to add frames to a programmatically created 
AS3 
MovieClip, and then populate those frames dynamically?  Will nextFrame() called 
on the 
last frame of a MovieClip still move the playhead?.. or return some kind of 
error?.. or just 
not do anything?

I'll be experimenting with all this stuff over the next couple of days, trying 
to come up with 
a solution, but if anyone knows anything I'd appreciate the feedback.

Also, if you happen to know that there's no way to do what I'm asking... and 
you happen to 
have the Flash 9 AS3 preview... would you mind making a few empty AS3 MovieClip 
SWFs?  
To be safe, I think one each at 7, 14, 21, and 28 frames would be great.  
That's not too 
much trouble is it?

Okay, infinite thank yous in advance.
