If you take the actions panel, you will find them in Objects> Movie> MovieClip> Drawing Methods.

You will have a set of actions determining the form and position of the object you are creating, and you will use the 'createEmptyMovieClip' method to create a container that will hold the new drawing (compare it to an instance if you were to do things manually).
