MovieClip as Sprite

Hi Forum

I'm creating various MovieClips in Flash CS4 which I then export as swc files for FB3.

In FB3 I reference all the MovieClips as Sprites and it seems to work.  The thing is I don't really need the timeline functionality of the MovieClips but the Flash environment doesn't allow me to create Sprites in the library... (or does it?).

Will this create issues further down the line?  Should I just stick with MovieClip?  Or is Sprite just fine?

Thanks for any help or insight.

Cheers

every movieclip is a sprite so there are no problems with down-casting a movieclip to sprite.  unless you need movieclip functionality and then you can cast it as a movieclip.
