Using Adobe Animate verison 22.0.2

It plays well in Animate when I test it, but when I exported my animate file as a video, H264, animation does not play.  Any ideas would be welcome!

    Use Graphic symbols and make sure your main timeline has enough frames to accomodate the nested animations inside your Graphic symbol(s).

    Export first as a .mov file then take it into media encoder and then export it as a MP4 !

    Doesn't work for me when I export as a .mov file.  I get the message "The file isn't compatible with Quicktime player".

    usually gives good advice, but on this one i have my doubts after testing.  i still think you need a graphic with enough frames on the main timeline to display the graphic's timeline.

    you should animate on the main timeline, or use graphic symbols on the main timeline (not movieclips).

    Thanks, but I'm still confused as to why when I test the movie or used the play button it animates fine.
