movieClip playing without a play()?

saeys

I put this question in a previous post but it was a bit off-topic, so that's maybe why I got no answer. :-)

I have a MovieClip loaded inside a function and when the function is called it plays automatically, without a play() call. Is that normal?

Hi @saeys, following gideros ref manual (http://docs.giderosmobile.com/reference/gideros/MovieClip/new#MovieClip.new)

After constructing the MovieClip object, it starts playing. You don't need to call [[MovieClip:play]].

So it seems to be the normal behavior.

Well... X_X

So, if you play it (as you may have thought you needed to, does it take up more resources - or does it replace the original playing back?)

(I don't do this, but it just wondering)...

I don't know about resources, I just have to make a workaround later on in the code in order to make it work in a controlled loop and together with sound.
