> 

root

Availability

Flash Player 4.

Usage

\_root.movieClip  
\_root.action  
\_root.property

Parameters

movieClip The instance name of a movie clip.

action An action or method.

property A property of the MovieClip object.

Description

Property; specifies or returns a reference to the root movie Timeline. If a movie has multiple levels, the root movie Timeline is on the level containing the currently executing script. For example, if a script in level 1 evaluates \_root, \_level1 is returned.

Specifying \_root is the same as using the slash notation (/) to specify an absolute path within the current level.

Example

The following example stops the Timeline of the level containing the currently executing script:

\_root.stop();

The following example sends the Timeline in the current level to frame 3:

\_root.gotoAndStop(3);
