(MovieClip.createEmptyMovieClip method)
public createEmptyMovieClip(name:String, depth:Number) : MovieClip
Creates an empty movie clip as a child of an existing movie clip. This method behaves
similarly to the attachMovie() method, but you don't need to provide an external linkage
identifier for the new movie clip. The registration point for a newly created empty movie clip
is the upper-left corner. This method fails if any of the parameters are missing.
You can extend the methods and event handlers of the MovieClip class by creating a subclass.
Parameters
name:String - A string that identifies the instance name of the new movie clip.
depth:Number - An integer that specifies the depth of the new movie clip.
Returns
MovieClip - A reference to the newly created movie clip.
Example
The following example creates an empty MovieClip named container, creates a new
TextField inside of it, and then sets the new TextField.text property.
