hi, again…

i’m using a component that uses a extenral AS file (FormValidator.as), and it was made in Flash MX (Flash Player 6 /ActionScript 1.0)  
i need to used it with Flash MX 2004 (Flash Player 7 /ActionScript 2.0), and i get some errors.

the FormValidator.as code is:  
[AS]  
FormValidator = function () {  
this.valide = false;  
this.target\_mc.\_visible = false;  
};  
FormValidator. **instances** = [];  
FormValidator. **id** = 0;  
FormValidator. **submit** = 0;  
FormValidator.prototype = new MovieClip();  
ASBroadcaster.initialize(FormValidator.prototype);  
FormValidator.prototype.onLoad = function() {  
FormValidator. **id** ++;  
this.init();  
};  
FormValidator.prototype.init = function() {  
if (!\_root.container\_invalid) {  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container\_invalid”,989);  
}  
this.t\_mc = this.\_parent[this._targetInstanceName];  
this.t\_mc.parent = this;  
this.id = FormValidator. **id** -1;  
if (this.formType!=“submit”) {  
this.t\_mc.focusDefined=false;  
FormValidator. **instances**.push({mc:this.t\_mc,variableName:this.variableName,type:this.formType});  
}  
if (this.formType==“submit”) {  
if (FormValidator. **submit** \> 1) {  
trace(“O formulário admite apenas uma submissão, consequentemente, este terminará a execução!”);  
return false;  
}  
FormValidator. **submit** ++;  
this.addListener(this);  
if (this.t\_mc.onRelease!=null && !this.t\_mc.oldOnRelease) {  
this.t\_mc.oldOnRelease = this.t\_mc.onRelease;  
}  
this.t\_mc.onRelease = function() {  
this.oldOnRelease();  
var tt = FormValidator. **instances** ;  
var l = tt.length;  
for (var i=0;i\<l;i++) {  
tt\*.mc.parent.validate(tt\*.mc.parent.formType); \*  
 }  
 this.parent.broadcastMessage(“onSubmit”);  
 }  
 }  
 };  
 FormValidator.prototype.validate = function(type\_str) {  
 switch (type\_str) {  
 case “input” :  
 this.valid = this.inputValidate();  
 break;  
 case “email” :  
 this.valid = this.emailValidate();  
 break;  
 }  
 if ((!this.valid) && (type\_str != “submit”)) {  
 var x1 = this.t\_mc.\_x;  
 var y1 = this.t\_mc.\_y;  
 var w1 = this.t\_mc.\_width;  
 \_root.container\_invalid.createTextField(“error”+this.t\_mc.\_name, this.id, x1, y1, w1, 20);  
 var t = \_root.container\_invalid[“error”+this.t\_mc.\_name];  
 var tf = new TextFormat();  
 tf.align=“right”;  
 tf.color = “0xB61212”  
 tf.font = “Verdana”;  
 tf.size = 10;  
 t.text = this.error\_message;  
 t.selectable = false;  
 t.setTextFormat(tf);  
 if (!this.t\_mc.focusDefined) {

 FormValidator.prototype.onSubmit = function() {

 var len = t.length;

_}_  
_Object.registerClass(“FormValidator”,FormValidator);_  
_[/AS]_

_…and i get all these errors:_

- 

```auto

```

…and i try to put the \*.AS file in the classes folder… and i get the some errors:

_ **Error** C:\Documents and Settings\Tico\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash MX 2004\en\Configuration\Classes\FormValidator.as: Line 4: ActionScript 2.0 class scripts may only define class or interface constructs._  
_};_  
_etc…_  
_etc…_

can anyone help here this stuff? ☹
