Hi, Jason:

<your question>

>
> Set Variable: "/:main_variable" = "1"
>

>
> Set Variable: "../:main_variable" = "1"

</question>

If you were referencing the variable from "one layer deep" in your hierarchy
of movie clips, either way would work, because the ".." just tells it to "go
up one". The first way, though, will "always" reference a variable on the
main timeline because the single "/" references the main timeline (root of
the hierarchy).
