Hi!

Is there any way to add methods to the existing MovieClip class so that later I can use them everytime I instantiate a MovieClip? Something like this:

```php

package {
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    public class myClass extends MovieClip {
       public function myMethod() {
         //do stuff
       }
   }
}

```

Then, **without instantiating myClass** , I want to be able to call that method like this:

```php

var newMc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
newMc.myMethod();

```

Is it possible?
