hi everybuddy,
i have some questions which maybe very easy for u and flash users but not for me....maybe it is fuuny to ask such question but i am not shy to ask them. and i am sure that someone will definitely answer them.

so my first qusetion----
what is _root? does it mean if we standing on a movieclip it will call or go to main stage. or does it mean if we are standing on the main stage it will call the perticular movieclip...or is it some thing else..what is it;s function and how does it works? pls explain me.

and second question----
and in flash what is the meaning of expression. if iake something expression then what will happen..and if i dont then what changes will happen ? and in which situation expression is used or not used?

these are some basic qusetions which i want to know and our teacher never told us.

Luckily the nice people that made these forums flourish also put together some tutorials to show beginners like us the light which in this case is flash. You will find the link to this page near the top of your screen.. if not then this link> http://www.actionscripts.org/tutorials.shtml >should take you right there. You should be able to find the answer to all your questions and more.
More specifically - Try "Variables 101" and "Paths to Objects and Variables"
Have fun learning!

thanks Mr. FLX,
u know wat? u r great..actully i dont get time to brouse much.thats why i never came to know that they (actionscriot.org) have even discribed all these things.. and i was having so much problem with not having much knowledge of the basics. andnot even getting sme defination which is easy to understand.u have done a big favour for me.
thanks a lot

but tell me one thing how do u give that link in between the text in which i can give myFLA file for the user to download and see my problem. these people does not have any such thing to upload my file.(or maybe my eyesight is not hat good) i tried twice. once it said it is too heavy, other time it said it only takes gif, jpeg files, third time it showed the full path of my image but neither any likage nor the image. donno why?

anyways another question but that is what this forum is for.
:p

thanks again to u and to actionscripts.org team

I've never really uploaded anything for viewing.. but have you tried zipping (compressing) your file? If not, try that and also keep the size below the requested limit and it should work fine... i guess..

LoL.. anyone who knows better feel free to correct me!
