Just went through Claudio’s tutorial on preloading and dynamically loading swfs with transitions and had a question. From what I read in another post in the forum “\_root.section” is an object created in the root movie. Doesn’t an object have to be declared first somewhere? i.e.,

section = new Object();

What type of object is this (generic Object object)? I’m a bit confused by the syntax in the tut. If anyone can clarify, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Pete
