A Movie Clip will continue to play until it no longer exists. It plays

at the same rate as the maintime line but it's starting and stopping are

independent of the main timeline.


If the main timeline plays for four frames (without stopping) then the

MC will play the same number of frames (4).


If there is a stop action in the first frame of the main timeline, the

MC will play continuously.


A Movie Clip will stop when its frame no longer exists.
