Symbol within a symbol playhead

[destynp79486094]

I'm working with symbols within symbols and getting some odd results with where the symbol starts it's frame 1. In this animation you will see the egg rolls out too soon, and then rolls out again. How can I control where the playhead is on frame 1 for the symbol within another symbol?

I'm sorry if this is vague, let me know if we need more info the hone in on what I'm actually asking for.

You can only control symbol playback if they're movieclips, not graphics.

You control them with stop() and play() commands.

Or you can have a static graphic, then replace it with an animated symbol only when you're ready for it to start animating.
