wuts the % do?

5

modulo was explained before, returns the remainder of first number divided by second number: 14 % 4 = 2 coz 4x3=12, remainder is 2.\rso if you need to check for an even number (true or false), just number % 2, and if it is even, modulo returns 0, easy and usefull check.\r\rbtw, “with”: no need for the slash " arget" here, just the right path…

they used to use the slash back in flash 4 with referring to movieclips cause 4 didn’t have _parent or _root. i just added the slash there anyway cause i wasn’t sure exactly where the movie was located.
