Nested graphic control

[Joseph34500509tw8s]

I dont want to use movieclips because you cant see the previewed output, so I am trying to use graphic symbols everywhere.

The problem arises when I have a looping graphic with graphics inside of it.

Specifically, I have a running animation that is a looping graphic, it is made up of character limbs which are also graphics.

If I want to change the animation of these individual limbs or body parts, like have the eyeballs move around etc over the duration of the scene, then theres no way to because the looping automatically resets the position of the graphic. At this point I might as well forget using nested graphics altogether and just use parenting instead. I cant use actionscript because that doesn't trigger during playback, therefore I wouldn't see the previewed output.

Is there someway to set the graphic so that it accumulates the value of its initial frame?

Thanks for your time.
