Sounds dont work in animated symbols, but they do in movie clips. I rarely

use animated

symbols over MCs, unless they're in the MC. Everything on my  main timeline

is a MC.


However this can get complicated depending on what your trying to achieve.

creating MCs

and using the only frames necessary to animate is the most efficient way to

go, but to do this you uaually need to add blank MCs with just action

keyframes for pauses in animations. File size is decreased because the blank

MCs hold no graphics. This is the best way Ive found to keep file size down,

but depending on the outcome, it is much more time consuming in getting the

shematic to work like I want it. However, it pays for itself in file size

and makes your animations much more interactive.
