Yes, but strictly so are also movieScripts.

Well, esoterically; "new" is a constructor-method of the "script", 
and the "new" handler you define in the scripttext, is just a handler 
that - if available - is called to the instance *after* creation.
I know this is a very esoteric distinction, but at least it makes 
sense to me, though the explanation really deserves to be a bit 
deeper...  ;-)
And why restrict the relevance of "new" to parentScripts? It is 
really the same for any script-type, even though it is fair to say, 
that inadvertently having a "new" handler in a movieScript 
classically causes grief over "why can't I create new members??".

Gwaff?? "beginSprite" is hardly a constructor method, it is merely a 
handler that receives a specific score-event.
