.To target the instance atlanta from an action on the Timeline of charleston, you could use the
following relative path:
_parent._parent.georgia.atlanta
Relative paths are useful for reusing scripts. For example, you could attach a script to a movie clip
that magnifies its parent by 150%, as follows:
onClipEvent (load) {
_parent._xscale = 150;
_parent._yscale = 150;
}
You could then reuse this script by attaching it to any movie clip instance.
Whether you use an absolute or relative path, you identify a variable on a Timeline or a property
of an object with a dot (.) followed by the name of the variable or property. For example, the
following statement sets the variable name in the instance form to the value "Gilbert":
_root.form.name = "Gilbert";
Writing target paths
To control a movie clip, loaded movie, or button, you must specify a target path. Before you can
specify a target path to a movie clip or button, you must assign it an instance name. A loaded
movie doesn’t require an instance name, because you use its level number as an instance name (for
example, _level5).
You can specify a target path in several different ways:
• Use the Insert Target Path button (and dialog box) in the Actions panel.
• Enter the target path manually.
• Create an expression that evaluates to a target path. You can use the built-in functions
targetPath and eval.
To assign an instance name:
1 Select a movie clip or button on the Stage.
2 Enter an instance name in the Property inspector.
To insert a target path using the Insert Target Path dialog box:
1 Select the movie clip, frame, or button instance to which you want to assign the action.
This will be the controlling Timeline.
2 Choose Window > Actions to display the Actions panel if it’s not already open.
3 In the Actions toolbox (at the left of the panel), choose an action or method that requires
a target path.
4 Click the parameter box or location in the script where you want to insert the target path.
