_root refers to the main movie. the main movie in essence is a movie clip and its instance name is '_root'. you could treat _root as you would any other movie clip such as its position (_x,_y), whether it's visible or not, its width and height... a usefull application would be if you wanted to make your whole movie fade in you would do something like this:
this would be alot easier than doing the same thing to all your movieclips in your movie... -zylum |
