I know I'm creating this problem in my lack of understanding of how movie
clips work. But, I'm only using actionscript when I need to listen for an
event. I don't load or unload the movie clips using action script. I'm
dragging two movie clips to the main timeline and expecting them to run one
after another. The demo is simpler to a slide presentation, with
animation. The movie clip works as you stated, but as soon as I add another
movie clip to the MAIN timeline, the second movieclip does not play the
length of the its timeline, unless I add the additional frames to the MAIN
timeline. I haven't seen any samples where there are multiple movie clips
directly on the MAIN Timeline without using ActionScript. The samples
I've seen, one movie clip is on the main timeline (1 frame) and the other
clips are nested or called from Actionscript. I have no problem nesting the
movie clips or calling actionscript to load them, I just don't want to make
it more complex then it has to be.
Thanks
Kim

Kim,
If the movieclip you have runs for say, 20 frames, you should absolutely
not need to have a corresponding 20 frames on the main timeline for it to
play.
What's your Actionscript look like at that point during the movie?
There is no difference between having an existing movieclip in the library
that you drag onto the main stage and taking a single object (such as a
jpg, textbox, or whatever) and converting it into a movieclip. Same thing
either way ya slice it.
(depending of course on whether there needs to be linkage, instance naming,
etc.)
