macbook pro- CS5.5

I am nesting a pose sequence in a graphic symbol and placing it on the main timeline. I set the instance to "play once- frame 1" in the looping option property.

two problems:

A. It plays just the body movement, not the head. if u go inside of the graphic symbol to the pose armature sequence- the body is set to "play once- frame 111" in the "looping option property", the head is set to "play once- frame 716" in the "looping option property." they both play here inside the symbol editor, but only the body cooperates on the main timeline.

B. If i fip this symbol on the main timeline, sometimes it messes with the armature in certain poses and throws a body part out of wack. any suggestions would rock!

best,
A
