Symbol inside scene

[Re7]

My symbol won't play inside my scene, I have a set animation within the symbol but it won't play when I go back to the whole scene. How can I fix this? Thanks

It worked when I changed the symbol from a movie to a graphic symbol, why is that?

because you're testing in the ide. 

nested movieclips don't play when testing in the ide while nested graphic symbols do play in the ide (if there are enough frames on the parent timeline).  movieclips do play when using a publish test.

Thank you!
