i’ve seen a number of tutorials that use a link property for page transitions and such. in this type format.

```auto

f (_root.link == "link01") {

gotoAndPlay ("link01");

}

if (_root.link == "link02") {

gotoAndPlay ("link02");

}

if (_root.link == "link03") {

gotoAndPlay ("link03");

};

```

I was just wondering if anyone can explain the basics of this and what it is actually used for, or knows of a tutorial that talks about the basics.

thanks a lot
