Description
The methods for the MovieClip class provide the same functionality as actions that target movie
clips. There are also additional methods that do not have equivalent actions in the Actions
toolbox in the Actions panel.
You do not need to use a constructor method to call the methods of the MovieClip class; instead,
you reference movie clip instances by name, using the following syntax:
my_mc.play();
my_mc.gotoAndPlay(3);
