Hi

Would anyone be able to shed some light on how to move an object built from multiple symbols (including movie clips with interactivity) in a timeline other than the root? I tried putting them all in another symbol, but then the interactivity was lost.

On a boad scope, what I'm trying to do is animate a "digital multimeter" out of the way when not in use, and vise versa.

Any ideas are appreciated

Thank you

if you don't need to reference the grouped entity  with actionscript you can highlight them all and click modify/group.

thanks kglad, but the group doesn't yield a second timeline in which to create my animation. I'm trying now to use a tween class to animate the collective items...

you animate or tween the group on the timeline that contains the group.  you wouldn't go into the group's timeline unless you needed to tween the individual movieclips and if you needed to do that, there would be no need to group them.
