The "_parent" object is a reference to the parent movie clip. For example, if you have a movie clip on the main time line with the instance name "movieclip1", with a sub-movie clip named "movieclip2," you could preface variables in the Actionscript in movieclip2 with "_parent" in order to access variables in the movie clip above. For example, to access "var something = 10;" declared in movieclip1 from movieclip2, you would use "_parent.something".

Is it possible to put actionscript2 code in a Actionscript 3 file?
No, it is not possible to put Actionscript 2.0 code in an Actionscript 3.0 code file. The Actionscript virtual machine that runs Actionscript 3.0 code is completely different from the Actionscript 1.0 and 2.0 virtual machine. The only way to include Actionscript 2.0 code in an Actionscript 3.0 project would be to have the Actionscript 3.0 Flash file load an external Actionscript 2.0 Flash file.

Current selection cannot have actions applied to it cs3 i am trying to make a button and i keep getting this message?
First make sure that the object you are trying to add Actionscript to is a symbol (movie clip, button or graphic). If you are using Actionscript 3 you can't apply Actionscript directly to objects as you can in AS2. You need to add code that refer to the target button via its instance name. You will need to Google something along the lines of "Flash CS3 Actionscript 3 use buttons to control the timeline" if that is what you are trying to achieve.

Is actionscript better than javascript and What is the differences between javascript and Actionscript?
When you can choose between them, Javascript is better simply because it is an open standard supported by all browsers, while Actionscript is proprietary (owned by Adobe) and needs a browser plugin to run. Actionscript is unavoidable when working with Flash. Actually, to make this judgment based on Javascript being open source is too simplistic. Javascript is a prototyped language, and therefore is not truly object-oriented, which can make it slow and difficult to develop large applications in. Actionscript 3.0 is object-oriented and therefore can support complex design patterns and more robust applications. In addition, Javascript is rendered differently depending on the browser supporting it. Therefore, performance of Javascript applications varies widely. Because AS3 runs in the Flash player its performance is consistent across many devices.
