_parent (Button._parent property)
public _parent : MovieClip
A reference to the movie clip or object that contains the current movie clip or object. The
current object is the one containing the ActionScript code that references _parent.
Use _parent to specify a relative path to movie clips or objects that are above the current
movie clip or object. You can use _parent to move up multiple levels in the display list as in
the following:
this._parent._parent._alpha = 20;
Example
In the following example, a button named my_btn is placed inside a movie clip called my_mc.
The following code shows how to use the _parent property to get a reference to the movie
clip my_mc:
trace(my_mc.my_btn._parent);
The Output panel displays the following:
_level0.my_mc

_quality (Button._quality property)
public _quality : String
Property (global); sets or retrieves the rendering quality used for a SWF file. Device fonts are
always aliased and therefore are unaffected by the _quality property.
The _quality property can be set to the following values:
■ "LOW" Low rendering quality. Graphics are not anti-aliased, and bitmaps are not
smoothed.
■ "MEDIUM" Medium rendering quality. Graphics are anti-aliased using a 2 x 2 pixel grid, but
bitmaps are not smoothed. This is suitable for movies that do not contain text.
■ "HIGH" High rendering quality. Graphics are anti-aliased using a 4 x 4 pixel grid, and
bitmaps are smoothed if the movie is static. This is the default rendering quality setting
used by Flash.
Note: Although you can specify this property for a Button object, it is actually a global
property, and you can specify its value simply as _quality.
