I was following a tutorial and input the AS code :

\_root.onEnterFrame = function(){  
if(\_root.\_xmouse\<50){  
imgBar.prevFrame();  
}  
}

and im getting this : ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable \_root is not defined.  
at Sliding\_fla::MainTimeline/Sliding\_fla::frame1()

I’m very new to AS and flash so if you’re willing to help, please be patient… 🙂

Thanks.
