Description

The `MovieClip` class inherits from the following classes: `Sprite` > `EventDispatcher`.

The `MovieClip` class is used create static timedlined animations. The timeline parameters are given as an array.
Each array element specifies one timeline element and consists of the starting frame, ending frame, sprite and
optional tweening parameters. Frame numbers start from 1.

When a `MovieClip` object finishes it playing (by reaching its final frame or a frame with stop action),
it dispatches an `Event.COMPLETE` event.

The following properties can be tweened:

• `x`
• `y`
• `rotation`
• `scale`
• `scaleX`
• `scaleY`
• `alpha`

Additionally `MovieClip` uses set function to tween properties, so if you override provided object's set function by adding new parameters it can accept, then you can tween those new parameters too.

The following easing functions can be used:

* `"inBack"`

* `"outBack"`

* `"inOutBack"`

* `"inBounce"`

* `"outBounce"`

* `"inOutBounce"`

* `"inCircular"`

* `"outCircular"`

* `"inOutCircular"`

* `"inCubic"`

* `"outCubic"`

* `"inOutCubic"`

* `"inElastic"`

* `"outElastic"`

* `"inOutElastic"`

* `"inExponential"`

* `"outExponential"`

* `"inOutExponential"`

* `"linear"`

* `"inQuadratic"`

* `"outQuadratic"`

* `"inOutQuadratic"`

* `"inQuartic"`

* `"outQuartic"`

* `"inOutQuartic"`

* `"inQuintic"`

* `"outQuintic"`

* `"inOutQuintic"`

* `"inSine"`

* `"outSine"`

* `"inOutSine"`

Following examples demonstrates the possible uses of MovieClip class.

Methods MovieClip.new - creates a new MovieClip object MovieClip:clearAction - clears the action at the specified frame MovieClip:getFrame - MovieClip:gotoAndPlay - goes to the specified frame and starts playing MovieClip:gotoAndStop - goes to the specified frame and stops MovieClip:play - starts playing the movie clip MovieClip:setGotoAction - sets a "go to" action to the specified frame MovieClip:setReverseAction - sets a "reverse" action to the specified frame MovieClip:setStopAction - sets a "stop" action to the specified frame MovieClip:stop - stops playing the movie clip

Events Event.COMPLETE Constants
