You can, using the .sprite command.
The syntax would be

    .sprite ElecSprite
        .swf MyElec "electrod.swf"
        .put MyElec
        .frame 71
            .action:
                Stop();
            .end
    .end
    .put ElecSprite
    .....
    #Button
    .action:
        ElecSprite.MyElec.play();
    .end

HTH,
