I forgot which bug item contained such behaviour, if
anyone remembers please let me know, or update
it with this new info from flash coders.

--strk;

You're talking about AS2?

See here for the answer:

This way you can attach classes that don't have a library symbol but
extend MovieClip.
These classes can for example have visual content using the drawing API.

Have fun!
