Subject:	FLASH: **syntax is weird**

or its just ME thats weird

two movieclips, both on the main timeline. button in movie 'clip1' to set
visability of 'clip2'

the problem is in the path.... if I use

on (release) {
setProperty ("../clip2", _visible, 0);
}

//it works fine, but if I use the new path convention of....

on (release) {
setProperty (_root.clip2, _visible, 0);
}

it hides clip1!!! the clip with the button in it!!!
what gives? It must be something obvious that I am overlooking, but having
done this very simple thing in flash4 about a bazillion times, I cannot
figure out why its broke.
