How do you get a movie clip to play in a flash animation?

I've been trying to make rain in this flash animated series I'm working on. HOWEVER, every time I create a movie clip of a rain drop falling, at the moment of putting it on the time-line and the scenery, it doesn't play, it stays still. I need to know what I'm doing wrong. I create the drop, convert it to a movie clip, then double-click it, animate it to fall through the screen, and put it in the scenery. What am I missing?

Update:

I've been trying to make rain in this flash animated series I'm working on Flash CS3 Professional. HOWEVER, every time I create a movie clip of a rain drop falling, at the moment of putting it on the time-line and the scenery, it doesn't play, it stays still. I need to know what I'm doing wrong. I create the drop, convert it to a movie clip, then double-click it, animate it to fall through the screen, and put it in the scenery. What am I missing? (P.S. by Movie Clip I dont mean movie clip from windows movie maker. I mean a MOVIE CLIP created IN the animation)
