Even though I HATE TimeLine based code (despite it being convenient for quick prototypes) I have been dabbing a slight bit in “addFrameScript()”

The problem is, there doesn’t seem to be any way to set the number of frames in a MovieClip via code, and Flash doesn’t automatically adjust the number of frames based on where “addFrameScript” code is located.

I’m not sure what use it would server, **but is it possible to set the number of frames in a MovieClip without using the Flash Professional IDE?**
