movieEvent parameter:
■ load The action is initiated as soon as the movie clip is instantiated and appears in the
Timeline.

Timeline. The actions associated with the
Unload movie clip event are processed before
any actions are attached to the affected frame.

actions associated with the

_ymouse properties to determine the current mouse position.
