	Step by step, this is how I do it in Win95.  Open the movie I want

to copy from.  left button click and drag across all the frames I want to

copy.  Edit->Copy Frames.  Go to my new movie (or movie clip).  Right

click on the first frame (or wherever I want to paste them in), and select

"Paste".

	I had your problem once before - it seems Flash is quite picky

about the order of things when doing this.
