Newbie Scripting Question

[Spivee]

Just trying to learn some of this Flash scripting stuff. Was looking over the circle collision stuff (from which I learned quite a bit after reading through all the discussions), but don't quite understand what this means:
Set variable: = "n" = /:variable1-variable2-/:variable3

What the heck does the /: mean? Can't seem to find this anywhere.

Hi when you have a variable which you what to pass from the main time line to a movie clip you Use the following format
/Name_of_MC:yourvariable
now if you what to pass variable from the movie clip to the main time line you usel
/:yourvariable.
