hey everyone, I know this might seem like AS3 101, but most of my AS3 work has been code generated objects, and well, this isnt.

the question is, how do I reference an object, that is on the timeline, but not on frame 1 (not putting code on the frame itself)?

do I somehow reference the frame, then the object?

thanks
