Re-entering Europe with a French "long séjour" visa [duplicate]

Re-entering Europe with a French "long séjour" visa [duplicate] - Close-Up Shot of a Quote on a Paper

I am a national from Mexico, currently an exchange student following a program in France and have a "long séjour" residence permit (multiple entry visa). During the summer holidays, I plan to travel outside Europe, and then I will return to Europe to continue my studies but I want to enter from Spain (my French visa will be still valid). Will this cause any trouble? Or do I need to re-enter Europe on the country that issued my visa (i.e. France)?

Also, is any visa issued from any Schengen country considered as a "Schengen visa"?

Can I travel in Europe with French residence permit?

Can you live in another European country with a French residence permit? Yes, if you have a long-term resident - EU, you can settle in another European country without applying for a visa.

Can I apply for double entry Schengen visa?

Schengen visas allow to make one-entry, two-entries or multi-entries. With one-entry visa you can travel the Schengen area only once.

How many times can I enter Schengen?

Schengen visas may allow for a single-entry or multiple entries. With a single-entry visa you can enter the Schengen area only once. This is indicated on the visa sticker by "01". With a visa allowing for two or multiple entries you may enter twice or several times during the validity of the visa.

What is double entry Schengen visa?

A double-entry visa (\u201c2\u201d on the visa sticker): allows its holder to enter the Schengen area twice during the validity period of the visa. You can thus leave the Schengen area and re-enter it during that period of time. The second time you leave the area, your visa expires.
