Here’s a good one!

If you have a text box and name it using the extension txt ie: mytextbox\_txt, then when typing a dot at the end will activate the Flash drop down menu.  
I was wondering if they exist what are the respective notations for other Flash components such as  
[LIST]  
[_]check box  
[_]datagrid  
[\*]label  
[/LIST]  
Thanks
