lash Question: Cannot Export a quicktime or image sequence

About a year ago I learned flash but i havent used it since and Ive forgotten alot of stuff. I have a very simple animation that im trying to expot as a quicktime or image sequence. But when i export an image sequence it only exports one image and when i export a quicktime its just a still frame. I tried changing the clip type to graphic symbol as it was a "movie clip" when it was originally created. the animation that Im trying to export does indeed play in the timeline without the need to preview. So i dont know what im missing here. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
