Flash :: Convert Flash4 FLA To FLASH8. AS Error

Assigning Values To Flash8 Variables Using Flash4 Script
hi to all!! i really need ur help asap!

i've created a flash movie using v8 in which i have a script (using loadMovie) importing an external swf movie which is a v4. my problem is i can't seem to assign values to a global variable declared in my v8 movie using a script from v4....

//the following is from my v8 movie; the _global variable is "student_name"

Code:
info_picframe.info_picframe_formal.loadMovie("images/" + student_name + ".jpg");
info_picframe.info_picframe_creative.loadMovie("images/" + student_name + "_b.jpg");
var msgs_field:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
msgs_field.onLoad = onText;
msgs_field.load("text/" + student_name + ".txt");
function onText(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
info_wri.text = msgs_field.wri;
info_nam.text = msgs_field.nam;
info_nic.text = msgs_field.nic;
info_org.text = msgs_field.org;
info_org2.text = msgs_field.org2;
}
else {
info_wri.text = "unable to load text file.";
}
}

//this is the script from v4. what i want is to assign the value of "xlocation" from this movie to the global variable "student_name" of the main movie.

Code:
on (release) {
setProperty("../button" add n, _visible, false);
xlocation = eval("link" add n);
///:student_name = xlocation;
frame_name = "info";
_root.gotoAndPlay(frame_name);
}
thanks in advance...

Urgent Help : Convert Flash4 AS To AS2
Hi guys,

I need some help converting some actionscript to actionscript 2.0. It's really urgent, I'm on a deadline, and time's really running out. If anyone can help, please get back to me asap, or type your answer here, but please hurry!!
This is from a flash 4 online tutorial...I want to change it so it'll work in flash mx 2004....please help..

the code is for a rotating menu.

1.
//This will be used later to determine where the mouse is, to change the size and rotation of the menu.

Start Drag ("drag", lockcenter)
Stop

2.
//this is a rotate clip. The first line determines where the mouse is. The second changes that number so that it is smaller. Line 3 determines the rotation of the menu ('nav') and adds xPos/20 to it.
//this is on the first frame of the clip

Set Variable: "xPos" = GetProperty("../drag", _y)
Set Variable: "xPos" = xPos-150
Set Property ("../nav", Rotation) = GetProperty ( "../nav", _rotation )-(xPos/20)

//this is on the second frame
Go to and Play (_currentframe-1)
//this is for the loop

3.
//a "scale" movie clip.
//Line 1 determines the position of the mouse. The second line checks to see if the mouse is in the closer half of the movie to the menu (the movie width is 400). If this is true, lines 3 - 16 are carried out. Line three reduces x so that the change in the menu's size is not too drastic. The fourth line checks to see if the new variable is a negative number and if it is then it changes it to positive in line 5. The next 2 lines change the width and length of the menu. The rest of the lines check to see if the menu's width and height are less than 30 or more than 100.

Set Variable: "x" = GetProperty ("../drag", _x)
If (x> 200)
Set Variable: "midX" = x - 200
If (midX <0 )
Set Variable: "midX" = - midX
End If
Set Property ("../nav", X Scale) = midX
Set Property ("../nav", Y Scale) = midX
If (GetProperty ("../nav", _xscale) <30)
Set Property ("../nav", X Scale) = "30"
Set Property ("../nav", Y Scale) = "30"
End If
If (GetProperty ("../nav", _xscale)> 100)
Set Property ("../nav", X Scale) = "100"
Set Property ("../nav", Y Scale) = "100"
End If
End If

//on the second frame of it ... same loop thing

Please help me.

Thanks in advance,
Andy

Please Help Me Convert A 5 Code To Flash8
For the last couple of days I've been trying to achieve this duplication effect without calling an MC. I found this open source movie by FlashGuru that looks like it could be the answer - the only problem is that when converted to Flash 8 it doesn't work anymore. Could someone please help me update it so it works in new flash players? Note; I'm a newbie at AS.

This is the file:

http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Scrip...1257/index.php

I think it might have something to do with this code:

Code:
on (press) {
if (i<10) {
i++;
top++;
duplicateMovieClip("window", "window"+i, i);
setProperty("window" + i, _x, Random(510)+20);
setProperty("window" + i, _y, Random(360)+20);
}
}

Convert <as1/flash6> To <as2/flash8>
Hi Guys!
Here is a great tutorial
but when I set the publish mode into Flash 8, the movie goes crazy

Does anybody know how to overwrite this code so it works in Flash8 ???

heres the code:

Code:
this._visible = false;
var numrotos = 10;
for (n = 0; n < numrotos; n++){
newroto = "roto" + String(n);
this.attachMovie("roto", newroto, n + 1);
this[newroto].theta = n * 360 / numrotos;
this[newroto].panel = 31;
this[newroto].radius = 300;
this[newroto].contents.gotoAndStop(n + 1);
} // end of for
this.title.swapDepths(100);
_____________________________________________

if (_root._ymouse < 120 || _root._ymouse > 280) {
speed = speed * 0.950000;
} else {
speed = -_xmouse / 100;
}

this._visible = true;

gotoAndPlay(_currentframe - 1);
______________________________________________

if (pressv != 0)
{
this.panel = this.panel + pressv;
pressv = pressv * 0.875000;
if (pressv < 0.200000 && pressv > -0.200000)
{
pressv = 0;
} // end if
} // end if
theta = theta + _parent.speed;
xbit = Math.sin(0.017453 * theta);
ybit = Math.cos(0.017453 * theta);
this._xscale = ybit * this.panel;
this._x = xbit * this.radius;
this._alpha = 30 + (ybit + 1) * 50;
this._yscale = this.panel - 3 + (ybit + 1) * 3;
stack = Math.round((ybit + 1) * radius * 2);
if (stack == 100)
{
stack = 101;
} // end if
this.swapDepths(stack);

What is Flash8 having problems with?

[Flash8] Convert A Read-only Property To A Number
Hi,

I know I am missing something very basic, but I don't know what it is so perhaps this forum can put me on course...

I have an FLV player that provides a read-only property called myPlayer.timecode and it displays the time in seconds as a String (xx.xxx). I am trying to assign that value to a variable so I can convert it to a number to use in some calculations, comparisons, etc.

I can assign this property to a dynamic text box and display it on the screen, but I cannot assign it to a variable and have the variable value show correctly on the screen. What do I need to do?

Ex: myPlayer.timecode value is 10.000 and shows as 10.000 in the dynamic text box called myTime1. (I entered the property into the Var: input box).
Created a String variable called timePlayed, and assigned it to a dynamic text box called myTime2. However, I cannot find a way to assign the property myPlayer.timecode to this variable. I can only display a value of "undefined" or "NaN" in the text box myTime2.

Arrrgh! Help, please.

[Flash8] Error - ':' Expected, But There's Already A :
Hello Kirupa! I'm hoping this is an easy fix, and that I just don't understand the syntax quite yet.

I'm trying to get an an eye (mcEyeAnim) to blink every 15 seconds.

The following code is giving me the following error.

Code:
var eyeInterval = 15;
while (eyeInterval = 15) ( {
countDown = function():Void {
eyeInterval--;
if (eyeInterval == 0) {
clearInterval(eyetimer);
trace("blink");
mcEyeAnim.play();
eyeInterval = 15;}
});
var eyetimer = setInterval(countDown, 1000)
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=actions, frame=1:Line 4: ':' expected
countDown = function():Void {

I'd be very thankful for a bit of guidance. Thanks for looking.

Error Loading Flash6 Swf Into Flash8
We have developed a system whereby we have a one flash component load other previously created flash files. The loaded flash files have been generated over the past 7 years using flash5 and flash6. (we have about 30,000 files created)

We have just added functionality to allow FLVs to be loaded, and therefore upgraded the primary component to flash8. Some PCs have a problem loading the older flash5/6 components under some conditions:
WORKS - Running from web server
DOESNT - Running locally using HTML
DOESNT - Running from Projector exe
WORKS - Running from a browser without HTML
I see no pattern to which machines have problems. (Operating system, other software loaded/installed, CPU, etc.) Identical machines may or may not work. Most machines have no problems (testing about 20 PCs, 2 have the problem).

In testing, the clip into which the component is loaded ceases to exist as a recognizable entity.

Rebuilding the older components to flash8 fixes the problem, but we have such a large quantity of older files and many are not under our control, that this becomes untenable (as well as the fact that many components need to still work with older flash6 primary components).

Anyone have thought to were to start looking.

1034 Cannot Convert Error
I have an application with several modules. The first time I am in module 1, I make a call to the service and receive an array collection of objects and can display them. Then, I go to another page, list something. Then I hit a menu button to go back to module 1, when I do so, I get a 1034 error indicating that I cant convert object com.xxx.StockVO@ec30a61 to com.xxx.StockVO. This worked the first time into the page, however the second time it does not. I have tried obtaining the item returned as an Object an re-casting, but nothing I try seems to get around this problem.

Thanks in advance for your assistance

Here is the code....

positions = ArrayCollection(event.result);

for (var i:Number = 0;i < positions.length;i++)
{
var obj:Object = positions.getItemAt(i);
var stock:StockVO = obj.stock as StockVO; // THIS CAUSES THE ERROR

// Check to see if it has already been added to the list
found = false;
for each (var item:StockVO in equities)
{
if (item.symbol == stock.symbol)
{
found = true;
}
}
if (!found)
{
equities.addItem(stock);
}
}

Event Error: Cannot Convert ShowRoomBrandEvent@166bb3f9 To PressEvent
Hello,

My structure is like this:

MasterPage.asShowRoom.asShowRoomSlider.asShowRoomSliderImage.asIn MasterPage.as I have the following code (among other :P):

ActionScript Code:
_page.addEventListener(ShowRoomBrandEvent.ON_CLICK, onBrandImageClick);
_page.addEventListener(PressEvent.ONCLICK, onPressReleaseClick);

In ShowRoomSliderImage.as I dispatch an event like this:

ActionScript Code:
private function goToBrand(e:TextEvent):void
{
this.dispatchEvent(new ShowRoomBrandEvent(ShowRoomBrandEvent.ON_CLICK, true, false, -1));
}

In MasterPage.as I have the following listeners:

ActionScript Code:
_page.addEventListener(ShowRoomBrandEvent.ON_CLICK, onBrandImageClick);

_page.addEventListener(PressEvent.ONCLICK, onPressReleaseClick);

If I only set one of the listeners in MasterPage.as my code works fine but if I use both I get this error:

"TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert ShowRoomBrandEvent@10ef2fc9 to PressEvent.
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()

Does anyone have any ideas why?

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion Failed: Cannot Convert []@15238eb1 To Flash.dis
Ok so iv been trying to make a bar that holds links using XML. my code reads in the XML and then adds a movie clip to the stage that has the title of the link and goes to the link on clicked but whenever i export it i get this error: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert []@15238eb1 to flash.display.DisplayObject. here is my code:

Code:

loaderLink.load(new URLRequest("link.xml"));

var xmlLink:XML;
var linkArrayTitle:Array = new Array();
var linkArrayUrl:Array = new Array();
var holderArray:Array = new Array();

function xmlLinkLoaded(e:Event):void

now after playing around with commenting and uncomment iv narrowed the error down to these 3 lines of code:

Code:

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion Failed: Cannot Convert Flash.display::AVM1Movie
I've been fruitlessly trying to get AS 3.0 to do what I want for the past 3 business days and I am now at wits end. I am wondering if someone has some insight as to what I am doing wrong or the best way to achieve what I am going for here.

Basically what I am trying to achieve is a series of external SWF's that load into a container movie. What I want to happen ideally is for module1.swf to load fully and start playing, when module1.swf is fully loaded, module2.swf should start loading and when it finishes, module3.swf should load as well. Module 2 and 3 should not play until the prior movies have already loaded in full.

Code:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.LoaderInfo;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import flash.text.TextField;

// Array of external clips to use. Variable index refers to next clip to be displayed.
var clips:Array = ["module1.swf", "module2.swf", "module3.swf"];

var index:int = 0;

// Stuff for loading files
var thisLoader:Loader = new Loader();

thisLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, doneLoading);

var thisMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

stage.addChild(thisMC); // Add empty MC initially so the nextClip function works even on first call

// Gets the next MC, waiting for INITialization before adding it to the stage
function nextClip():void {
thisLoader.load( new URLRequest(clips[index]) );
}

// Remove old clip, tell AS that the loaded file is the new one, add it to the stage, and play.
function doneLoading(e:Event):void {
stage.removeChild(thisMC);
thisMC = MovieClip(thisLoader.content);
thisLoader.unload();
thisMC.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, runOnce);
stage.addChild(thisMC);
thisMC.gotoAndPlay(1);
}

// When thisMC has finished, play the next clip.
function runOnce(e:Event):void {
if (thisMC.currentFrame == thisMC.totalFrames) {
thisMC.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, runOnce);
index = (index + 1)%(clips.length);
nextClip();
}
}

// Call the nextClip function initially to get the ball rolling
nextClip();
Sorry for my complete lack of knowledge here, this is as close I have came to getting it to work thus far. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

ScrollPane In Flash8 Not Working Quite Right Flash8
http://www.karaedwardsvo.com

When you click on either "about" or "clients" it takes you down the timeline to a ScollPane that is set to load an external swf (with a tranparent background if that makes a difference). This works fine for me 100% of the time on my Mac but have had a couple, including the client, who say the in IE on a PC the scroll bar doesn't appear and the swf shows up low on the screen. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Get Url-flash4
Dear all,
Does anyone know how to use "get url" in flash 4. I'm trying to put this in a button's action, so that when clicked that will open up a new page linked to it.
I was advised to use:

on (release) {
getURL ("http://www.asiatravel.com. ", "_blank");
}
but it was in flash 5. In Flash 4 I tried:

on (release) {
getURL ("http://www.asiatravel.com.")
and then chose "_blank" from the "Window" and "Don't send" from "Variables".
Am doing it wrong? Please help.
Thanks!!

Using Swf In Flash4
I am a very newbie with all of this web design stuff. but learning very fast. I created a Swish movie which has buttons that link to external web sites. When I test the file either in the player or in the browser it works perfectly. As soon as I import it to Flash the buttons no longer work! All the links are gone.
I do this to add music to the site, flash seems to handle the .wav file better compressing it and encapslating it into the flash movie. Seems to load much faster that way!

Any ideas on why the buttons no longer work in flash?

I have been through both the manual and tutorials, which give three ways to use the SWF in Flash. I have tried all three methods with no success.

The only strange thing is that in the tutorial and in several messages on this forum you speak of a dialog box in the File> Export> menu, I can never see that box. when I use the File> Export> or the Export Tool Bar. I never see the Dialog box to set Export properties!

Thanks

After publishing to HTML, the flash banner's size doesn't match the size that I designed, that should be 118x60,but it looks very small on the HTML page.

What caused this kind problem, I really don't know.
but the animation function looks fine,just the size had a problem.

Thanks for your help!

OnClipEvent In Flash4
I did a nice animation in flash 5 but now I have to reconvert the script to flash4 for user-reachability issues.
But I'm only familiar with flash 5.
Does anyone know how to rewrite those line in flash4 actionscripting?
by exporting from flash5 into a flash 4 swf he cant convert those three lines:
for (var i = 0; i<_root.numberOfOptions; i++) {...
onClipEvent (load) {....
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {...

full code for Clipevents:

onClipEvent (load) {
initialScale = int(Math.random()*50)+75;
this._xscale = initialScale;
this._yscale = initialScale;
scaleInterval = 3;
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
modifier = this._xscale/100;
this._x+=(_root.distance/50)*modifier;
if (this._x > 850) {
this._x = -65;
} else if (this._x <-65) {
this._x = 850;
}
if (scaledUp == 1 && this._xscale<=scaleTarget) {
this._xscale += scaleInterval;
this._yscale += scaleInterval;
} else if (scaledUp == 0 && this._xscale>=scaleTarget) {
this._xscale -= scaleInterval;
this._yscale -= scaleInterval;
}

}

I replaced this by the actual MC name.

Flash4 Vs. Flash 5
Hi,

I have a movie in Flash 4. I now own Flash 5. Can I open the Flash 4 movie and work on it and have it still work in Flash 5?

Are there any real differences I should be careful of?

Thanks!

Telltarget For Flash4
I did something in Flash 5 but it's clearly not "degrading" well to Flash 4. The "tell target" actions don't seem to work, though I though tell target was Flash 3 or later - anyone have any hints on making tell target actions work better in Flash 4??

Flash4 Help (lighttables?)
I have just started using flash 4 in the last week i have spent 1/2 of that time trying to figure out how to turn on a feature in flash. I want to use the feature that makes it like you are drawing on a light tables (so that i can see the last frame so i know where to draw on the new frame). I am sure its something as simple as ctrl + alt + something but i have tried mashing about the keys and still no luck, i know this is a dumb question but its so dumb i can't find the answer anywhere. I do know there is a feature that lets me do this because i had it on once by compleat mistake, can anyone please help out a girl that is almost bald from pulling out hair?

Flash4 > Flash 5 Actionscript
hi

i'm converting a file from flash 4 to flash 5 actionscript - i can do most of it, but there are a couple of things i don't understand

there are a few lines like this:
setProperty ("tenkey.key" add i, _xscale, eval("PX" add i)*100/L);
and a few like this:
set ("PX" add i, eval("PX" add i)+eval("VX" add i));

i know what eval() does in javascript, but was wondering if it was necessary in flash 5 - i don't get the rest at all - can it be shortened?

thanks for your help

Works In Flash5 But Not In Flash4...Why?
I have tried to use all Flash 4 coding when working in Flash 5, but it only works in Flash 5 when published. Does anyone know of any reasons or had any similar problems so I might be able to trouble shoot this? For example,

Problem: When published in Flash 4, some of the artwork in my flash starts shrinking for no reason. But Flash 5 published is fine.

Can it be something like: do I have to use "Number" before every value if I'm working in Flash 5 but publishing as Flash 4? Any response is greatly appreciated.

--Mike

Percentage Preloader In Flash4
Hi,

I'm trying to find an Actionscript for an percentage preloader that works with Flash 4.
Somewhere I read, that it should work if I export my swf-movie by activating the field "Gernerate size report",
so that I can read out the variables which contain the bytesize. But I don't know how to programm it....

Does anybody know....?

Help Translate Flash4 Code To Mx
Hi I was working with this tutorial about a typer,
but it was made with flash four coding:

on (keyPress "Backspace") { // <> backspace is between this but wont show on message board
if (Number(sign)<>1) {
sign = sign-1;
x_pos = getProperty(sign, _x);
y_pos = getProperty(sign, _y);
removeMovieClip(sign);
gotoAndStop("start");
}
}

when I publish in flash 6 player the backspace button does not work.
But if I publish in flash 4 player mode it works.

Can someone help/explain whats going on and how would I translate this?

Thank You
