FLASH: RE: call syntax question

[Neal Cabage]

Could someone please clarify for me the difference between the two statements:


     Set Variable: "/Database:Name" = "Franz Schubert"

     Set Variable: "Database:Name" = "Franz Schubert"


It seems to me that the two should be the same ... but I'm not sure.


And here's one more from an example I was kindly sent to analyze:



     "Item " & MyListBox:SelectedIndex & ": " & MyListBox:SelectedText


What is the meaning of "MyListBox"? Per the syntax above, I would presume that the movieClip that contains the variable "selectedIndex" should be named "MyListBox".  Instead, I have a movie clip called "ListBox".  In this example there are a couple of different "My"s where the name of the moveClip is the same without the the prepended "My".  Is there some significance to this as a keyword or something?


Your help is greatly appreciated!   ;-)
