Sets total number of \f(CW$mc\fR frames to \f(CW$i\fR
This is an optional autofiller, e.g. when you want to be sure that 2 different movieclips
have 100 frames when playing, but the number of \fInextFrame()\fR calls in these 2 movieclips is unknown or
dynamic (dependent on data from databases, whatever). By default a movieclip the number of frames
in the timeline is how often you called \f(CW$mc\fR\->nextFrame for this clip.
.ie n .IP "$mc\->labelFrame($name)" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$mc\fR\->labelFrame($name)" 4
.IX Item "$mc->labelFrame($name)"
Sets frame name to \f(CW$name\fR.
You are then able to access this frame by name in ActionScript, not just by frame number.

.IX Item "$mc->setScalingGrid($x, $y, $w, $h)"
This function (available from \s-1SWF\s0>=8) sets a 9 slice scaling grid:
1 2 3 
4 5 6 
7 8 9
X, y, w and h define a rectangle, which is the dimension of the center slice
(5). All other slices are determined out of the characters bounds and the
defined rect. While slice 5 is scaled vertical and horizontal, slice 2 and 8
are only scaled horizontal. Slice 4 and 6 only vertical. The 4 corner slices
are not scaled (1, 3, 7, 9).

.el .IP "\f(CW$mc\fR\->addInitAction($action)" 4
.IX Item "$mc->addInitAction($action)"
Adds an initial ActionScript block to MovieClip \f(CW$mc\fR.
These actions are executed before the MovieClip is available
as a script object.
