Slash syntax (/) was used in Flash 3 and 4 to indicate the target path of a movie clip or variable. In slash syntax, slashes are used instead of dots and variables are preceded with a colon, as shown in the following example:
myMovieClip/childMovieClip:myVariable
To write the same target path in dot syntax, which is supported by Flash Player 5 and later versions, use the following syntax:
myMovieClip.childMovieClip.myVariable
Slash syntax was most commonly used with the tellTarget action, but its use is also no longer recommended. The with action is now preferred because it is more compatible with dot syntax. For more information, see tellTarget function and with statement in the ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference.
