Is it possible to do something like this:

var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();  
mc.applyClass(‘someclass’);

Something like that? Sometimes I want to just apply utility methods to a movieclip without having to create a special type of movieclip.

Also, is it possible to extend the movieclip class for all movieclips to add global utility stuff?
