Question

target a movie clip inside a movie clip

When I go to the symbol editing mode on the first movie clip, I drag the instance of my 2nd movie clip to the stage. I then am duplicating my work, (it is over lapping) not sure what I am doing wrong here? and I am finding that my child movie clip is taking on the parent movie clip properties. How do I stop this from happening? I thought they are to remain independent? Any help is greatly appreciated. TY.

i'm not sure what problem you're having but, a child object is not independent of the parent.  it doesn't assume the properties of the parent but, many parent properties will impact the child.

Will the child timeline be independent of the parent timeline. My pend_mc is the child and has taken on the hand_mc properties. Also why is there brackets around some and not the others? Thank you so much for your time.
