Movieclip
Movie clips are symbols that can play animation in a Flash movie. They are the only data type that refers to a graphic element. The movieclip data type allows you to control movie clip symbols using the methods of the MovieClip object. You call the methods using the dot (.
) operator, as shown here:
myClip.startDrag(true); parentClip.getURL("http://www.macromedia.com/support/" + product);
