Thanks. It dawned on me that the base .fla had been translated from flash 4 and extensively modified. So rather than copying and pasting ( a couple of the movieclips in it had been in the original) I made it over again.
so far so good - the remake wasn't that hard in this case because the base .fla is essentially empty except for a background picture and some code.
so good idea. thanks!
