From the Help files:
Identifying a variable in a specific movie or movie clip
To identify a variable in a specific movie or movie clip, prefix the variable name with the path to the movie or movie clip.Use a colon to separate the path from the variable name. For example, this phrase specifies the variable Timer in the movie clip Explosion:
/Explosion:Timer
Your expression, probabbly in an if statement, would thus mean that if m is smaller than the following operation on a global variable named tmi (/:tmi multiplied by 2) -1, then do something accordingly!
