Hi guys, I’m working on an old Flash RIA built in Flash 4. I could barely remember its equivalent syntax. Could anyone validate these ones in my mind:

F4 v. Latest  
…/ - \_parent  
./ - this (i don’t think so… ?)  
/ - root or could also be \_level0 (iirc)  
: - .

What else?  
This is what I found  
[http://www.adobe.com/devnet/devices/articles/flashlite\_game\_knowhow\_02.html](http://www.adobe.com/devnet/devices/articles/flashlite_game_knowhow_02.html)  
but somehow vague and incomplete.

I remember reading one thread where sen explained this I think but it was a loo0Ong time ago I can’t find it using the search option in the forum. ☹

Help?
