PS the final .sc file is this...

The movies above have all retained their AS3 code, and are respecting 
it... although I get some debug errors concerning the clips within the 
clips :
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null 
object reference.

I even tried importing the relevant class and declaring the object :
import flash.display.*
var mc;
But the errors still appear.

it compiles correctly without the as3name on each line
