Difference between 'mc.onLoad' and 'onClipEvent(load)'?

Hello

I have a movieclip with instance name linkholder, in which I have this AS:


onClipEvent(enterFrame){
}

I tried to put this code on a layer outside the movieclip, but it didn’t work the same way. Shouldn’t it?


_root.linkholder.onEnterFrame = function(){

}
