i have an actionscript 1 fla from flash version 6 that i am trying to reconfigure for actionscript 3

when i compile i get this error:  
Actions on button or MovieClip instances are not supported in ActionScript 3.0. All scripts on object instances will be ignored.

the fla file has actions on buttons and movie clips, i know ill have to do that some other way

but it also has movie clips with actions on the FRAMES IN THE ACTIONS LAYER OF THE MOVIE CLIPS

will i have to get rid of those as well? or does as3 allow actions on the frames in the actions layer of movie clips?

i know this may sound confusing but i stated the question as clearly as i could

thanks in advance
