#initclip

Availability

Flash Player 6.

Usage

#initclip order

Parameters

order An integer that specifies the execution order of blocks of #initclip code. This is an optional parameter.

Description

Compiler directive; indicates the beginning of a block of initialization actions. When multiple clips are initialized at the same time, you can use the order parameter to specify which initialization occurs first. Initialization actions execute when a movie clip symbol is defined. If the movie clip is an exported symbol, the initialization actions execute before the actions on Frame 1 of the SWF file. Otherwise, they execute immediately before the frame actions of the frame that contains the first instance of the associated movie clip symbol.

Initialization actions execute only once during the playback of a SWF file; use them for one-time initializations, such as class definition and registration.
