Hi and Welcome to the GreenSock forums.

 

I'm a little foggy on what you are asking for. The terminology of embedding a timeline in a timeline seems very much like a Flash question relating to MovieClips. 

 

If you are referring to nesting GSAP's TimelineLite instances inside each other, that is certainly possible. Or you could make a single TimelineLite that contains a tween to move your bird and another to flap the wings. This is a super-rough example:

I think if we had more information, or perhaps a sample of your work it would be much easier to advise you properly.

How do I use an embedded timeline in GSAP. E.g. a bird flapping its wings a time line embedded in the bird flying across the stage.

As suggested  I've attached a  file, that use a simple  illustration of a candle, repeated a few times that move across the stage with the flame as an embedded movie clip. I see I can't include the fla, the swf , nor the js  files generated by "Toolkit for create JS" in Flash.So I have just attached the HTML file.

Thanks.

To see the movie clip you need the js file which I can't up lolad so I have put the demonstration on a site:

The flame, created in Flash CS6 consists of a sprite using 8 graphics on its own time line. The candle is a single sprite, which moves across its time line. There are then 8 instances of the composite candle moving across the main timeline.

Right now there isn't really anything we can do with what you provided.

Took a peak at the js file that your current demo is using:

There are over 400 lines of js code. In order to help we would really need to see a much simpler animation perhaps with just 1 candle so that we can better make sense of what is happening. 

 

As Jamie suggested, a zip of all your files would allow us to investigate and experiment.

As suggested I've reduced the code to a single candle and created the HTML and JS file, which is only 7k long, using "Toolkit for createJS". I've also been exploring Easle.js and Zoe ( to create sprite sheets from SWF files). And wonder if Greensock and these othe tools can live togerther?

The candle is a very simple example compared with my other experiments.
