Two questions…

1. set Interval… lets say you make a movie clip and in that movie  
clip was a setInterval with a certain name. If you had multiple  
instances of that movie clip each using that same setInterval name  
would there be problems, or is the set interval sort of functioning  
like a local variable?

2. I make a movie and it has some tweened animation in it. Can I  
control that animation by extending the movieClip class to do so? In  
other words, could I use create a method in a MovieClip class  
extension that accesses the movie clip’s timeline - so  
myflick.fadeOut would have a method that did a gotoAndPlay(“fade”)  
command?
