That’s a JavaScript function used to create commands and extensions for the Flash authoring environment. You can use that in a JavaScript command to allow you to add frames to the timeline dynamically. That script can in turn be used wither through a command in the Commands menu or even through a custom Flash panel.

Note that this can NOT be used directly in ActionScript and will not modify a SWFs timeline during runtime. This is an authoring tool script function.
