Unlike the Sprite object, a MovieClip object has a timeline.
>In Flash Professional, the methods for the MovieClip class provide the same functionality as actions that target movie clips. Some additional methods do not have equivalent actions in the Actions toolbox in the Actions panel in the Flash authoring tool.
Children instances placed on the Stage in Flash Professional cannot be accessed by code from within the
constructor of a parent instance since they have not been created at that point in code execution.
Before accessing the child, the parent must instead either create the child instance
by code or delay access to a callback function that listens for the child to dispatch
its Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE
event.
If you modify any of the following properties of a MovieClip object that contains a motion tween,
the playhead is stopped in that MovieClip object: alpha
, blendMode
,
filters
, height
, opaqueBackground
, rotation
,
scaleX
, scaleY
, scale9Grid
, scrollRect
,
transform
, visible
, width
, x
,
or y
. However, it does not stop the playhead in any child MovieClip objects of that
MovieClip object.
Note:Flash Lite 4 supports the MovieClip.opaqueBackground property only if FEATURE_BITMAPCACHE is defined. The default configuration of Flash Lite 4 does not define FEATURE_BITMAPCACHE. To enable the MovieClip.opaqueBackground property for a suitable device, define FEATURE_BITMAPCACHE in your project.

property lets you create menus. You
can set the trackAsMenu
property on any SimpleButton or MovieClip object.

Starts playing the SWF file at the specified frame. This happens after all
remaining actions in the frame have finished executing. To specify a scene
as well as a frame, specify a value for the scene
parameter.
Parameters
frame:Object — A number representing the frame number, or a string representing the label of the
frame, to which the playhead is sent. If you specify a number, it is relative to the
scene you specify. If you do not specify a scene, the current scene determines the global frame number to play. If you do specify a scene, the playhead
jumps to the frame number in the specified scene.
| |
scene:String (default = null ) — The name of the scene to play. This parameter is optional.

Example ( How to use this example )
gotoAndPlay()
method to direct the playhead of

Brings the playhead to the specified frame of the movie clip and stops it there. This happens after all
remaining actions in the frame have finished executing. If you want to specify a scene in addition to a frame,
specify a scene
parameter.
Parameters
frame:Object — A number representing the frame number, or a string representing the label of the
frame, to which the playhead is sent. If you specify a number, it is relative to the
scene you specify. If you do not specify a scene, the current scene determines the global frame number at which to go to and stop. If you do specify a scene,
the playhead goes to the frame number in the specified scene and stops.
| |
scene:String (default = null ) — The name of the scene. This parameter is optional.
|
Throws
ArgumentError — If the scene or frame specified are
not found in this movie clip.
