'Sup, guys?

Is it possible to set the quality of individual movie clips independently?  
Here’s what the manual says:

> This example sets the rendering quality of a movie clip (and subsequently the entire SWF containing the movie clip) named my\_mc to LOW:

```php
my_mc._quality = "LOW";

```

I would further add to the “_…and subsequently the entire SWF containing the movie clip…_” that the setting of that my\_mc would also affect the parent SWF if the SWF containing it is in turn externally loaded into another SWF.

If setting the [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue] **.** \_quality[/COLOR] property of a **single** MC affects the **entire** SWF and **EVEN** the **parent** SWF, then why have it in addition to the global [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]\_quality[/COLOR] property? I mean, what’s the freakin’ use if it does the exact same freakin’ thing? Ⓜ (Doesn’t it?)

Thanx
