    i couldn't tell (and animate couldn't determine) what you were trying to convert to a movieclip, but you can solve the problem and unconfuse animate by creating an empty movieclp, copying the frames/layers you want to convert and paste them into the new movieclip's timeline.

     

    remove/delete those frames/layers from the main timeline if you want to replace them with that movieclip.
