Summary

• The MovieClip object has unique properties, methods, and handlers. Using dot syntax, you can access these characteristics of the MovieClip object.

• You can change a Movie Clip instance's position, scale, and rotation using ActionScript. Most physical attributes are accessed by specifying the Movie Clip's path followed by the property name, as in mcInstance._rotation.

• You can create draggable Movie Clips in ActionScript without using any Button instances, by using the onPress() and onRelease() methods of the MovieClip object.

• The _droptarget property of Movie Clip instance (instance A) indicates the path of the Movie Clip instance (instance B) upon which a Movie Clip instance (instance A) is dropped.

• As the sliders example demonstrated, you can use the values of one Movie Clip instance's properties to change the property values of another Movie Clip instance.
