No movie clips are different than Movie swfs. All symbols, including movie clips sounds,

etc. in the movie swfs library belong to that movie.


Only swf files can belong on a level.


Look at it this way. movie clips and animated graphics are put on layers inside

a swf movie.


Then the swf movies can be loaded on different levels through the "load movie"

command.

No, again movie clips and movies are 2 different things. Place a "stop" action

keyframe at the end of the timeline in your movie clips to keep them from looping. Only

use "load movie" when your movie swfs start getting to large and learn how to make the

movie swf talk to each other if theres interaction involved.
