Running actions after attaching

I think my problem is best explained with an example.

I have a movieclip with the linkage “Alfred”, and inside on frame one there is a function called “Hillary”.

However, once Alfred is attached, I want the actions in frame one to run instantly, so that something like this would work:

attachMovie("Alfred", "Alfred", 0);
Alfred.Hillary();

I know there are ways around this, like putting the function in the timeline I attach the movieclip from, but is this at all possible?
