[Laszlo-dev] Applying transformation matrix on movie clip

[P T Withington]

I you need to get access to the movie clip that represents a view, it  
is available as:

<view>.sprite.__LZmovieClipRef

Nothing in LZX prevents you from directly manipulating movie clips,  
but this is not a supported API and is subject to change.

You may find it helpful to use the debugger, with  
Debug.showInternalProperties=true to explore...
