Is there a way to crop a movieclip using ActionScript (2.0) in Flash ?

What I basically have is a jpg which I load into a movieclip and afterwards I need to apply certain changes to that image such as crop or resize.

Any ideas about how to do the crop function, other than simply applying a mask which is not a very functional solution in my case ?
