I have come across the following AS syntax:

a:count =0;
/:b = "0";

What ":" and "/:" might mean in that context?

lookup "Using slash syntax" in the help

':' is the same as '.' and '/' the same as '_root'. There is also '..' that
is the same as '_parent'

Wow, that is sooooo old. I can't really remember. I think they would be written like this now.

a.count=0;
/:b = "0";

So I think the colon means "in the scope of" and the slash means "_root"
