I'm fairly new to actionscript and the way I learnt it I write it all on the stage. After reading these threads for awhile I get the impression a lot of people put some actionscript in the movieclips themselves.

I was just hoping some of you might say why/when you put actionscript im movieclips and what advantages this has over putting it on the stage.

Thanks to anyone that does this, I'll find it really useful and I'm sure some other noobs will too.
