and what is the mysterious “i” I see in a bunch of codes?

Like:  
for (ii=0; ii\<3; ii++) {  
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp or&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp  
if (\_root[“mc”+ii].\_name == sClip)

Thanks again

Also:  
what does the true and false

what is the difference between:  
= and ==

and

when I put something in “” after an equal sign and when I don’t

Thanks again (and again and again…)

“i” is commonly used for counters. it is a variable that contains a certain value that is changed within a loop.

number=125

concerning functions, the proper use is :  
function\_name = function (\* parameters\*) {  
// what the code does  
}
