To control MCs externally you use Tell Target.

A Movie Clip has its own independent timeline which can be controlled

separately from the main timeline with Tell Target.


You can create animations totally on the main timeline or with

independent MCs supplementing the main timeline. Most experienced

Flashera will create most of their animations in MCs because of the

flexibility of the MC.
