#initclip directive

#initclip [order:Number]
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 initialization occurs first.
order
Initialization actions are executed when a movie clip symbol is defined. If the movie clip is an
exported symbol, the initialization actions are executed before the actions on Frame 1 of the
SWF file. Otherwise, they are executed immediately before the actions of the frame that
contains the first instance of the associated movie clip symbol.
Initialization actions are executed only once when a SWF file is played. Use them for one-time
initializations, such as class definition and registration.
