What happens when you hit "control + enter" in this case ? (i.e. Publish 
or test movie ?)

AFAIK, a movie clip with, say, 5 frames on its timeline sits on its 
parent timeline,  the IDE will not play the animation on hitting Enter 
key (when you are on the parent timeline!); it will just show you the 
first frame (for a movie clip symbol).

Try converting the mc into a graphic symbol on stage ("behavior:" in 
properties panel) and hit enter to view the animation within IDE on the 
parent timeline (graphic symbols play animation on scrubbing in sync 
with parent timeline; provided you have sufficient frames on the parent 
timeline)

I guess this is not a problem unless you want to view the animation by 
scrubbing within the IDE repeatedly for some reason. :)
