FLASH: convert scene to a movie clip

[markc]

Hi all,


Having made one version of a movie with multiple layers and multiple

scenes, and having covered more of the manual, I've decided it would be

better to create a number of movie symbols and load them into a 'master'

movie.


So, my problem is .... how can I take all of my layers and frames from

one scene, and convert that into a movie symbol?


I've tried using 'edit multiple frames' (with all the layers set to

nornal), 'select all', then 'create symbol' - 'movie symbol', but I only

get a one frame movie symbol instead of 100+ frames.


I've tried (with all layers set to normal) shift-clicking across all the

frames and all the layers, and then 'copy frames' and trying to paste

that into a blank movie symbol .... no go.


So am I correct in thinking that the only way to create a movie symbol

is to create a blank symbol first, and build it up within the symbol

itself, rather than by transferring a number of frames and layers from a

movie?


Any help offered would be truly appreciated, (and enable me to avoid

having to start from scratch again :-)
