I have created a short movie that contains an instance of a movie clip. I can text the movie and everything is there but when I try to export to video (.mov), the movie clip is missing. What am I missing? Thanks for any advice. I haven't used this application for a long time

Correct answer Colin Holgate

What Nick says about making it be a graphic really just applies to exporting an image sequence. For exporting a video everything that worked in a Test Movie should appear in the exported MOV. One possibility is that you're using HTML5 Canvas, and so that's testing the scene in a browser, whereas export to video involves creating a SWF. If you're animating for video export you are better off using AS3 documents. You get to use more filters, and the SWF used in Test Movie and export video are identical.
