Consolidation Of ActionScript [F8]&[F9]
have been running into the same problem multiple times and I know there is an easier way to do this.. any ideas out there?
here would be an example of some code:
PHP Code:
btn1.onPress = function(){
do the same thing;
}
btn2.onPress = function(){
do the same thing;
}
btn3.onPress = function(){
do the same thing;
}
btn4.onPress = function(){
do the same thing;
}

Function Consolidation Help
Okay,
I know there has to be an easier way to write this.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
There has got to be a way to use 1 function and some type of variable to make to add the new sprites from an array with a for statement. I just don't know how. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Wayne

Flash MX Code Consolidation
I am trying to recreate a site with as much actionscript as I can to make it easy to update. I am using movie clips for buttons and want all the code to be compact. With the big help of a coder named Sorcerer, the following code has been put together. I know it's very close but with my skills (or lack thereof) I am unable to see my error in executing it.
If anyone out there has the time or inclination to explain my errors, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
PHP Code:
//all button code
Button_Names = new Array();
Button_Names[0] = "about"
Button_Names[1] = "portfolio"
Button_Names[2] = "extras"
Button_Names[3] = "audio"
Button_Names[4] = "client"
Button_Names[5] = "email"
Button_Names[6] = "phone"
Button_Names[7] = "privacy"
Button_Names[8] = "credits"
Button_Names[9] = "as"
for (i=0; i<=9; i++){
item = Button_Names[i];
this[item+"_btn"].onRelease=function(){

item == "audio" || item == "client" || item == "email" ||
item == "phone" || item == "privacy" || item == "credits" ||
item == "as")
loadMovieNum(item+".swf", 2);

I Repeat Myself[Code Consolidation Question]
Hi,
In the code below, I've called to several xml objects and functions with repetitive behavior, it functions fine. However would someone offer a solution for pruning this bramble?
Code:

[FCS3] Adding Actionscript To A Movieclip Through Actionscript?
Yo, is there a way to add actionscript to a movieclip created in actionscript? Such as a onClipEvent(load) and onClipEvent(enterframe)? I have a onEnterFrame already for the movie clip as its created though. I have taken code thats from a gravity tutorial where it uses the two methods above. I've tried adding them into the onEnterFrame that I had already to add gravity to the movieclips created though that did'nt work =(
Jigsaw Puzzle - Changing From Actionscript 2.0 To Actionscript 3.0
Hello Everyone,
I was hoping someone could help me convert the following actionscript from actionscript 2.0 to actionscript 3.0. I'm trying to complete a jigsaw puzzple but I'm having problems converting it into actionscript 3.0.
Below is my actionscript:
//Puzzle Pieces
scramble_btn.onRelease = function(){
piece1._x = random(250);
piece1._y= random(250);
piece2._x = random(250);
piece2._y= random(250);
piece3._x = random(250);
piece3._y= random(250);
piece4._x = random(250);
piece4._y= random(250);
startGame();
messageOn.text = "";
counter.text = "00:00";
clearInterval(timeStarted);
timeStarted = setInterval(countdown, 1000);
time_start = 0;
}
//Puzzle Move
function startGame(){
piece1.onPress = function(){
this.startDrag();
piece1.swapDepths(1)
}
piece1.onRelease = function() {
this.stopDrag();
hit1();
checker();
};
piece2.onPress = function(){
this.startDrag();
piece2.swapDepths(1)
}
piece2.onRelease = function() {
this.stopDrag();
hit2();
checker();
};
piece3.onPress = function(){
this.startDrag();
piece3.swapDepths(1)
}
piece3.onRelease = function() {
this.stopDrag();
hit3();
checker();
};
piece4.onPress = function(){
this.startDrag();
piece4.swapDepths(1)
}
piece4.onRelease = function() {
this.stopDrag();
hit4();
checker();
}
};
//HitTest Script
function hit1(){
if(piece1.hitTest(container1)){
piece1._x = container1._x;
piece1._y = container1._y;
}else{
piece1._x = random(250);
piece1._y = random(250);
}
}
function hit2(){
if(piece2.hitTest(container2)){
piece2._x = container2._x;
piece2._y = container2._y;
}else{
piece2._x = random(250);
piece2._y = random(250);
}
}
function hit3(){
if(piece3.hitTest(container3)){
piece3._x = container3._x;
piece3._y = container3._y;
}else{
piece3._x = random(250);
piece3._y = random(250);
}
}
function hit4(){
if(piece4.hitTest(container4)){
piece4._x = container4._x;
piece4._y = container4._y;
}else{
piece4._x = random(250);
piece4._y = random(250);

}
}

sec = (sec<10)?"0"+sec:sec;
min = Math.floor(sec/60);
min = (min<10)?"0"+min:min;
counter.text = min+":"+sec;
};
//This will check if all puzzle pieces are complete...and display game finish messsage.
function checker(){

Giving Actionscript To An Actionscript-loaded Movie
How can I (if possible) set actionscript (say, an on-mouse event) to a movie that I load via attachMovie()? I poked around and I couldn't seem to find an answer...
I want the movie that I load via attachMovie() to have an on(RollOver) event...any thoughts?
Warning: An ActionScript 1.0/2.0 SWF File Has Loaded An ActionScript 3.0 SWF;
Hi all,
I'm trying to clone an swf (produced in CS3) that has been loaded into my app (built using Actionscript/mxmlc) but keep getting the following message appear in my logs:
Code:
Warning: An ActionScript 1.0/2.0 SWF file has loaded an ActionScript 3.0 SWF; code in the ActionScript 3.0 SWF will not run.
I know the CS3 swf has been produced using Actionscript 3 as it's settings and published for FP9. It does nothing more than a motion tween of a graphic.
Here is a really simple example of how to emulate the problem:
ActionScript Code:
package{
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
[SWF(backgroundColor=0x000000)]
public class Test extends Sprite{
private var _mc:MovieClip;
public function Test():void{
var mc:String = "rain.swf";
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadedSWF);
ldr.load(new URLRequest(mc));
}
private function loadedSWF(e:Event):void{
var mc:MovieClip = MovieClip(e.target.content);
this._mc = MovieClip(new (mc.constructor)());
this.addChild(this._mc);
}
}
}
I'm using the following version of mxmlc: Version 3.0.0 build 1844
I've also tried a slightly more convoluted way:
ActionScript Code:
package{
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.utils.getQualifiedClassName;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
[SWF(backgroundColor=0x000000)]
public class Test extends Sprite{
private var _mc:MovieClip;
public function Test():void{
var mc:String = "rain.swf";
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadedSWF);
ldr.load(new URLRequest(mc));
}
private function loadedSWF(e:Event):void{
var c:Class = Class(e.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition(getQualifiedClassName(e.target.content)));
this._mc = new c();
this.addChild(this._mc);
}
}
}
I would like to know what's causing the warning message, am I doing something wrong?

[F8] Flash6 Actionscript 2, Flash 8 Actionscript 2...help
Ok loosing it a bit now, have gone back to a very old project from a Flash 6 file, managed to convert the script language to ActionScript2, works fine as flash6 actionscript2, but once I change the project to be flash 8 I get One error......and I know where it's coming from (see below), Have come to a dead - end here, so hope that one of you guys may be able to help me....
Feel free to use this if you can get it working, just credit the designer (Me).
On the main stage MC named "site", go inside and double click on any of the MC's (named "str0, or str1 etc....all instances). Once inside an "str" MC move to frame 2 and the MC on the stage should be called "seg0 or seg1 etc...(again all instances"), go inside the MC and click on frame 1 of the actions layer. Scroll down and look for the variable named "var nummer = _parent.plus+Number(this._name.substr(3, 1));"....this always returns NaN in flash player 8, but works in flash player 6?.................help me.....I'm drowning.

Moving A Game From Actionscript 1.0 To Actionscript 2.0...
Hi there.
I hope someone can help me out here. I have been asked to create a simple Flash memory game, and I have been given a template to use as a basis. However, this template has been created in Actionscript 1.0 for Flash player 5. I now need to transfer it over to Actionscript 2.0 Flash player 8, and Ive noticed lots of odd behaviour once it has been changed.
Here is the code....
Code:
initGame();
stop();
function initGame() {
// make sorted list of cards
cardsListOrdered = [];
for (i=1; i<=18; i++) {
cardsListOrdered.push(i, i);
}
// shuffle list
cardsListSorted = [];
while (cardsListOrdered.length>0) {
r = int(Math.random()*cardsListOrdered.length);
cardsListSorted.push(cardsListOrdered[r]);
cardsListOrdered.splice(r, 1);
}
// create card clips and assign their location and picture
x = 0;
y = 0;
for (i=0; i<36; i++) {
attachMovie("Card", "Card"+i, i);
_root["Card"+i].picture = cardsListSorted[i];
_root["Card"+i]._x = x*60+200;
_root["Card"+i]._y = y*60+50;
// move to next card spot
x++;
if (x>5) {
x = 0;
y++;
}
}
firstclip = 0;
}
function clickCard(clip) {
// see if two card are showing
if (secondclip != 0) {
// turn those two cards back over
firstclip.enabled = true;
secondclip.enabled = true;
firstclip.gotoAndStop(1);
secondclip.gotoAndStop(1);
firstclip = 0;
secondclip = 0;
}
// see if same card was clicked
if (firstclip == clip) {
// turn card back over
firstclip.gotoAndStop(1);
firstclip = 0;
// see if no cards are showing
} else if (firstclip == 0) {
// turn first card over
clip.gotoAndStop(clip.picture+1);
firstclip = clip;
firstclip.enabled = false;
// must be one card showing
} else {
// turn second card over
clip.gotoAndStop(clip.picture+1);
secondclip = clip;
secondclip.enabled = false;
// see if two cards match
if (firstclip.picture == secondclip.picture) {
// Disable both cards
firstclip.enabled = false;
secondclip.enabled = false;
firstclip = 0;
secondclip = 0;
}
}
}
When set to FlashPlayer5, all works well. If a player tries clicking the same tile twice, it stops them. Also, when a pair of tiles are uncovered, again, the user is no-longer able to press them. This was done using the "enabled = false".
However, when I change it to Flash Player 8, none of these seems to work. Ill include the .fla so someone could possibly play around with it and see where the problem is, or whether there is another way to do it....
Hope someone can help.
Many thanks
Swf Actionscript 3, Load A Actionscript 2 File.
Hey dudes.
I need some help over here:
i have one banner player, and load some external swf files in actionscript 2, but the player is actionscript 3.
The files is loaded like a movie, when load a as2 files into as3. I just need a trigger when the swf file ends, when is in the last frame of movie.
Someone have a ideia in how do that?
thanks!
Flash ActionScript == Flex ActionScript?
Is ActionScript basically programmed the same way for Flash as it is for Flex? I know some folks who develop in AS for Flex. I didn't know if it was exactly the same for Flash, so I could tap them as a resource when I have an AS question.
Thanks,
Loren
Urgent :Getting Actionscript To 'pause' - Actionscript 2.0
Hi guys,
I need the actionscript to carry out a piece of code, then pause for 0.5 seconds, then carry out the next piece of code, then pause, then next code e.t.c
There will be twenty pieces of code that build up an animation with tweens that need to start at different times.
I guess its something to do with setInterval, but I'm not sure on the syntax, as there 20 pieces of code I don't want lots of nested code (though if thats the only way to do it then so be it!)
I'd really appreciate your help guys
cheers
Obtaining An ActionScript 2 Variable From ActionScript 3
Probably one of the most subjects on this forum has to be ActionScript 3 and ActionScript 2 communication. I found several threads on how to communicate between the two using a LocalConnection class, but there is one problem with this approach - I can't transport any values with it. Because LocationConnection.send doesn't have a return type, there is no way to transport a value from AS2 to AS3. This is very unfortunate, as I need to have access to a value that is set somewhere in the AS2 code.
I could use JavaScript as a middle layer to communicate the data between the two, but this will be a very ineffective way to achieve it. Are there any better ways for doing this?
ActionScript 3.0 Is 5~7 Times Slower Then ActionScript 2.0
I have a code that will translate this XML

var MyXML:XML = new XML(MyXMLString);//Parse the XML ONCE
I have a function called ConvertXML , and to check the performance i made it loop every frame by calling the following RunXML function
quote:
function RunXML(Events:Event){
StartTime = getTimer();
for(var i:Number=0;i<100;i++){
var MyXMLArr:Array = ConvertXML(MyXML, false, false);
}
EndTime = getTimer();
trace(EndTime - StartTime + " ms");
}
and here is my code for parsing the variable MyXML in ActionScript 3.0 (ConvertXML function)
quote:
//Action Script 3.0 ConvertXML
import flash.xml.*;
function ConvertXML(RecvXML:XML, ChildBranch:Boolean, IsTable:Boolean):Array {
var RowArr:Array = new Array();
for (j=0; j<RecvXML.child("*").length(); j++) {
var TempObject = new Object();
for (k=0; k<RecvXML.child("*")[j].elements("*").length(); k++) {
TempObject[RecvXML.child("*")[j].elements("*")[k].name()] = RecvXML.child("*")[j].elements("*")[k];
}
RowArr.push(TempObject);
}
return RowArr;
}
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, RunXML);
The code above run 5~7 times slower then the following actionscript 2.0 code
quote:
//Action Script 2.0 ConvertXML
function ConvertXML(RecvXML:XML, ChildBranch:Boolean, IsTable:Boolean):Array {
var RowArr:Array = new Array();
for (var aNode:XMLNode = RecvXML.firstChild.firstChild; aNode != null; aNode=aNode.nextSibling) {
var TempRecord:Object = new Object();
for (var bNode:XMLNode = aNode.firstChild; bNode != null; bNode=bNode.nextSibling) {
TempRecord[bNode.nodeName] = bNode.firstChild.toString();
}
RowArr.push(TempRecord);
}
return RowArr;
}
this.onEnterFrame = RunXML;
they both does exactly the same thing.. and yet the actionscript 3.0 code run 5~7 TIMES SLOWER . why?
i have tried other benchmark, and it seems that actionscript 3.0 perform 10 to 100 TIMES FASTER then actionscript 2.0 , only for this one it run slower... why?
I also attach all the code for actionscript 3.0
should you want to try the actionscript 2.0 , just uncomment the ConvertXML and this.onEnterFrame for actionscript 2.0 and comment the one for actionscript 3.0
Why? have i done something wrong?
Cheers and God Bless,

Help: This Works In Actionscript 1 But I Need It To Work In Actionscript 2
I have some scrolling navigation that works when published using actionscript 1 but not actionscript 2. I need to use actionscript 2 because it supports the streaming video that I'm trying to navigate. Can someone help me rewrite my button logic to get the scroll bar to work as it did in actionscript 1? Please see my fla if necessary, but here is the area I need help with.
if (Number((getProperty("../scrollhandle", _y)))>Number((Number(../:top)+Number((../:speed/(../:height/../:scrolllength)))))) {
setProperty("../scrollhandle", _y, (getProperty("../scrollhandle", _y)-(../:speed/(../:height/../:scrolllength))));
} else {
setProperty("../scrollhandle", _y, ../:top);
}
tellTarget ("../scrollhandle") {
gotoAndPlay(3);
}
the error that I get is:
**Error** Symbol=buttonlogic, layer=Layer 1, frame=2:Line 1: Operator '>' must be followed by an operand
if (Number((getProperty("../scrollhandle", _y)))>Number((Number(../:top)+Number((../:speed/(../:height/../:scrolllength)))))) {
**Error** Symbol=buttonlogic, layer=Layer 1, frame=2:Line 2: Operator '-' must be followed by an operand
setProperty("../scrollhandle", _y, (getProperty("../scrollhandle", _y)-(../:speed/(../:height/../:scrolllength))));
**Error** Symbol=buttonlogic, layer=Layer 1, frame=2:Line 4: Unexpected '.' encountered
setProperty("../scrollhandle", _y, ../:top);
Please help if you can.

Works In Actionscript 1.0, Not Actionscript 2.0, Help?
Any idea why this would work fine in Flash MX but not MX 2004 Pro? I'm new to the upgrade but I can't imagine why this doesn't work.
_root.mission.gotoAndStop("mission");
I'm publishing in Actionscript 1.0 so I don't see what the difference would be.
Thank you much!
Converting ActionScript 1 To ActionScript 2
Flash keeps giving me a "type mismatch" error for this particular line of code:
myItemArray[x] = parseInt(Math.random()*9) + myItemArray[x];
Based on my research it's because it's old script and I'm not sure how to go about converting it so I don't get the error. I've pasted the entire block of code for your understanding. Thanks in advance for you help.
Code:
//Build array
myItemArray = new Array("a1","a2","a3","a4","a5","a6","b1","b2","b3" ,"b4","b5","b6");
for(var x = 0; x < 12; x++){
myItemArray[x] = parseInt(Math.random()*9) + myItemArray[x];
}
//Sort array
myItemArray.sort();
//Strip off random num at beginning
for (var x = 0; x < 12; x++){
myItemArray[x] = myItemArray[x].substr(1,myItemArray[x].length);
}
Works On ActionScript 1.0 But Not On ActionScript 2.0
The following code works if you have your flash file set to:
Flash Player 6
Action Script 1
I need it to work for
Flash Player 7
Action Script 2
What it does is that basically if i have
1 2 3 4 5
and i click on the 5 it will arrange the movie clips so they will be
5 1 2 3 4
mc is the name for action script of the movie clip i'm using
I think
the function that doesn't work correctly is the move function
HOW CAN I FIX THIS Sad
Code:
var acceleration = 12;
var friction = 0.7;
clipArray = [];
posArray = [];
for (var k = 0; k<5; k++) {
myclip = attachMovie("mc", "mc"+k, k);
myclip._y = 100;
myclip._x = 170+myclip._width*k;
//myclip.myText.text = "Button "+k;
clipArray.push(myclip);
//countArray.push(k);
posArray.push(myclip._x);
myclip.onPress = dostuff;
}
function move() {
var xdif = posArray[this.jvar]-this._x;
this.xspeed += xdif/this._parent.acceleration;
this.xspeed *= this._parent.friction;
this._x += this.xspeed;
this.checkDistance();
}
checkDistance = function () {
if (Math.abs(posArray[this.jvar]-this._x)<1) {
this._x = posArray[this.jvar];
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
function dostuff() {
for (var i = 0; i<clipArray.length; i++) {
// setting indexes
clipArray[i].ivar = i;;
}
// deleting the mc the user clicked
k = clipArray.splice(this.ivar, 1);
// the mc you click is on the front
clipArray = k.concat(clipArray);
for (var j = 0; j<posArray.length; j++) {
// re setting the indexes
clipArray[j].jvar = j;
trace(clipArray[j]+" "+clipArray[j].jvar);
// calls move
clipArray[j].onEnterFrame = move;
}
}

Importing Actionscript Into Actionscript
I've got a game and I've got too much actionscript.
So I'm wondering if it's posible to import an external actionscript file into the code on the maibn SWF file.
This would also give the user a chance to edit basic vaiables, eg. speed, jumpHeight etc.
Any ideas?

Actionscript 2.0 → Actionscript 3.0
Hi,
Since I'm no expert in it, it took me time to get used to some Actionscript 2.0 codes. Now I'm trying to work on Actionscript 3.0, but I don't know that much about it. I have a script that I want to convert from 2.0 to 3.0. Here it is:
ActionScript Code:
g_list.addItem({label:"Wikipedia", data:"Wikipedia"});
g_list.addItem({label:"Yahoo", data:"Yahoo"});
var listHandler:Object = new Object();
listHandler.change = function(ntt:Object) {
switch (ntt.target.selectedItem.data) {
case "Wikipedia" :
getURL ("http://www.wikipedia.org");
break;
case "Yahoo" :
getURL ("http://www.yahoo.com");
break;
default :
trace("unhandled event: "+ntt.target.selectedItem.data);
break;
}
};
g_list.addEventListener("change", listHandler);
Can anyone help me, please?
Migrate Actionscript 3 To Actionscript 2
Hello,
I have a problem migrating from AS3 to AS2.
I have the following code:
class Main extends MovieClip {
var g1:Graph;
function Main() {
g1 = new Graph(); // I create a new instance on Graph
addChild(g1); //add it to this movieclip
g1.startup(); //in startup I add several instances on Elem to g1
}
function updateElems()
{
for(var i:Number = 0; i < g1.numChildren; i++)//I iterate through childrens to update them
{
var elem:Elem = g1.getChildAt(i) as Elem;
elem.update();
}
}
}
I create an AS3 project and associate the stage to the Main class that adds a child - g1 - of type Graph using addChild(), then I add several Elem instances to Graph using addChild().
While running I need to update the Elem instances so I iterate through g1's children of type Elem, using getChildAt(i=0, numChildren).
I need to port this to AS2
In AS2
- there's no fl.core.UIComponent (I've used mx.core.UIComponent)
- mx.core.UIComponent doesn't have getChildAt and addChild methods
The questions are:
a) how can I add Main class to stage as I cannot link it from the user interface as this feature is only supported with as3?
b) how can I add g1 to Main?
c) how can I add instances of Elem to g1
c) how can I iterate through the children of g1, the Elem instances and update them?
Thanks!
Actionscript 3 Support Actionscript 2?
Hi
I would want to ask whether if currently, all the object, functions, classes in actionscript 2 can be rewritten in actionscript 3?
E.g (its just an example), actionscript 2 have Math class, and actionscript 3 also has Math class??
Hope everyone here can understand what I mean. Thanks.

Works On ActionScript 1.0 But Not On ActionScript 2.0
The following code works if you have your flash file set to:
Flash Player 6
Action Script 1
I need it to work for
Flash Player 7
Action Script 2
What it does is that basically if i have
1 2 3 4 5
and i click on the 5 it will arrange the movie clips so they will be
5 1 2 3 4
mc is the name for action script of the movie clip i'm using
I think
the function that doesn't work correctly is the move function
var acceleration = 12;
var friction = 0.7;
clipArray = [];
posArray = [];
for (var k = 0; k<5; k++) {
myclip = attachMovie("mc", "mc"+k, k);
myclip._y = 100;
myclip._x = 170+myclip._width*k;
//myclip.myText.text = "Button "+k;
clipArray.push(myclip);
//countArray.push(k);
posArray.push(myclip._x);
myclip.onPress = dostuff;
}
function move() {
var xdif = posArray[this.jvar]-this._x;
this.xspeed += xdif/this._parent.acceleration;
this.xspeed *= this._parent.friction;
this._x += this.xspeed;
this.checkDistance();
}
checkDistance = function () {
if (Math.abs(posArray[this.jvar]-this._x)<1) {
this._x = posArray[this.jvar];
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
function dostuff() {
for (var i = 0; i<clipArray.length; i++) {
// setting indexes
clipArray[i].ivar = i;;
}
// deleting the mc the user clicked
k = clipArray.splice(this.ivar, 1);
// the mc you click is on the front
clipArray = k.concat(clipArray);
for (var j = 0; j<posArray.length; j++) {
// re setting the indexes
clipArray[j].jvar = j;
trace(clipArray[j]+" "+clipArray[j].jvar);
// calls move
clipArray[j].onEnterFrame = move;
}
}

Converting Actionscript 1.0 To Actionscript 2.0
Last edited by funkyflash : 2006-01-18 at 11:06.
This code goes in Frame 1:
ActionScript Code:
// script by Jae Young, Choi
// on Designers Forum (corea)
Movieclip.prototype.elasticScale = function(target, accel, convert) {
xScale = xScale * accel + (target - this._xscale) * convert
yScale = yScale * accel + (target - this._yscale) * convert
this._xscale += xScale
this._yscale += yScale
}
This code goes on the movieClip:
ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
elasticScale(150, .75, 0.1)
trace ("x=" + xscale)
trace ("x2=" + (target - this._xscale))
} else {
elasticScale(100, .75, 0.1)
trace ("x=" + xscale)
trace ("x2=" + (target - this._xscale))
}
}
ActionScript 2.0 To ActionScript 3.0 Migration
Here's a Livedoc published by MM giving an overview of the differences between 2.0 and 3.0. This is geared as a reference for Flex 2.0, but I would assume that this would apply as well to anyone who's going to be jumping into 3.0 with Flash.
Big and exciting changes. ActionScript is really shaping up to be a serious platform language. Long live Flash!

Actionscript 1.0 To Actionscript 2.0 Problem
ok my problem may or may no be something you guys can help me with... i downloaded a preloader tutorial from actionscript.org and i love the preloader but the problem is it doesn't work with actionscript 2.0 or at least that's what i think is the case. as it is right now i can't figure out any other reason other then the fact that it was created on flash mx and i use mx 2004. the reason i think it's a difference between AS 1.0 and 2.0 is that when i just transfer my documents and everything directly into the tutorial page, format it to the same size and everything, the preloader works but the easing code i use doesn't, and if i'm not mistaken that's something for AS 2.0. is there a way i can convert the script over? i'm not sure how to do it really if anyone knows can you help? here it is:
ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loading = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
total = _parent.getBytesTotal();
percent -= (percent-((loading/total)*100))*.25;
per = int(percent);
percentage = per+"%";
loadBar._width = per;
if (percent>99) {
_parent.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}
[CS3] Needs Help Converting Simple Flash 5 Actionscript 1.0 To Flash 8 Actionscript 2
Hi, can anyone help me convert this code to actionscript 2.0
I will separate it into the frames its on.
Frame 1
i = 1;
max = 60;
x = getProperty("fire", _x);
Frame 2
if (Number(i)<=Number(max)) {
duplicateMovieClip("fire", "fire" add i, i);
i = Number(i)+1;
}
Frame 3
if (Number(i)<=Number(max)) {
duplicateMovieClip("fire", "fire" add i, i);
i = Number(i)+1;
}
gotoAndPlay(2);
Thanks i appreciate any help
Actionscript To Javascript ..any Actionscript Hero Or Javascript Guru?
Hi..everybody..
i just like to know..if anyone could tell me is it possible to pass a variable from actionscript to javascript ?
eg.
password = inputName
login = login
boolean gate == fales;
if (password == "temp" && login =="login"){
answer = "Access granted!" ;
getURL("temp.html",_self);
} else {
answer = "Access denied!" ;
}
because my login page was made in flash..however, after i found out that user could type in url direct access to the web, i made a redirect meta tag ,redirect that web to login page..however, its does work out..because those 2 pages are not passing login success to another...>__<
thanks you..

Flash 8 V. Flash MX 2004, ActionScript, Actionscript 3
I have a question:
Could someone explain the material differences between Flash 8 and Flash MX 2004, ActionScript and ActionScript 3?
Can Flash 8 ($699 retail version) do everything that the other three can do?
Thank you very much for your time and response.
