CS3 actionscript 2

Is it possible. Can I make a flash file that is OOP and, also design a short movie clip within Flash without it being external actionscript?
(Have done the above, but don't know if this is why I'm having a problem.)

Now, for the real problem, how do I call that particular movie clip.

I have worked on this for better than 2 weeks reading everything I can find, google, the forums, and their seems to be little information on OOP.

Would someone post a very simple example of how to load a clip from the external actionscript.

I know it is difficult for people to give up their time in the aide of others when they are lost and often are using incorrect terms. I will do my part, I will upload anything one may need to our server. I will provide all my code and share that code for you to use as desired. (some of it is really neat).

I really do need some guidance,,,THANKS

Here is my page that works inside the flash file.box
and here is what I want it to do entire file will need to click question mark. It also hangs from a PC, but works most of the time from a Mac.

pass a movieclip to your constructor and use that to attach your linked library movieclip. ie:

// in your class file:

.

public class C(mc:MovieClip){

mc.attachMovie("yourlinkageID","mcName",depth);

// in your fla:

var c:C=new C(this); // or pass any other movieclip

I really appreciate the reply. Somewhere I'm missing something. The compiler gave two errors

1. error in script layer 1 line 1

2. attribute used outside class

I've tried everything I can think of.....I'm missing something, any suggestions, I will try a hundred different ways all wrong to figure out one that is right.

Again, thanks...it was helpful, it was one more piece of information.

here's a complete class file that does what you want:

class Main extends MovieClip{

    public function Main(tl:MovieClip){
        tl.attachMovie("mcID","mc",1); // mcID is a movieclips linkage id
    }

}

if you're still having problems, copy and paste your class file.
