In Flash 5, you would use a command called tellTarget() to tell a specific button or movieclip to do something. In Flash MX/MX 2004, we use dot syntax.
Think of it like DOS but in Flash, and using dots instead of slashes to access directories (or instances in this case).
_root.movie_clip_1.button_1 // accessing a button 1 inside of movieclip 1 inside the root timeline.
Dot syntax is the foundation of which everything is built now, so start there.
