Hi–

Can anyone convert the following script from Flash 5 to Flash 8? I’m sure it must be easy, but I’m not getting it. Specifically, the problems are in these three lines, which get the following error in Flash 8 AS 1.0:

“ **Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 15: Left side of assignment operator must be variable or property.  
eval((”…/" + nclip) + “:xmov”) = tempx;

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 18: Left side of assignment operator must be variable or property.  
eval(("…/" + nclip) + “:ymov”) = tempy;

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 19: Left side of assignment operator must be variable or property.  
eval(("…/" + nclip) + “:treffer”) = my\_n;

Total ActionScript Errors: 3 Reported Errors: 3"

Many thanks for any help!!! And here’s the three lines that are giving me the trouble:

eval(("…/" + nclip) + “:xmov”) = tempx;  
eval(("…/" + nclip) + “:ymov”) = tempy;  
eval(("…/" + nclip) + “:treffer”) = my\_n;

P.S. Don’t ask me what “treffer” means. It’s German! Again, thanks!
