Compiler directive; indicates the beginning of a block of initialization actions. When multiple
clips are initialized at the same time, you can use the parameter to specify which
order
initialization occurs first. Initialization actions execute when a movie clip symbol is defined. If
the movie clip is an exported symbol, the initialization actions execute before the actions on
Frame 1 of the SWF file. Otherwise, they execute immediately before the frame actions of the
frame that contains the first instance of the associated movie clip symbol.
