Hi,  
I have to publish an swf as flash 5 but it’s been generated with flash MX and the new syntax.

maskera.swapDepths(100);  
createEmptyMovieClip(“content”, 1);  
content.\_x = 230;  
content.\_y = 130;  
for (i=1; i\<=14; i++) {  
content.attachMovie(“pic”+i, “pic”+i, i);  
content[“pic”+i].\_y = 0;  
content[“pic”+i].\_x = \_global.w;  
\_global.w += 400;  
}  
stop();

* * *

already tried to swap \_ global to \_root but published as flash 5 it does not work.  
Any idea  
thanks

you can not use createEmptyMovieClip in Flash 5 code. it wasn’t availible.

problem solved  
i created an empty movie clip “content” end put it on the stage.

## maskera.swapDepths(100); content.\_x = 230; content.\_y = 130; for (i=1; i\<=14; i++) { content.attachMovie(“pic”+i, “pic”+i, i); setProperty(“content.pic”+i, \_y, 0); setProperty(“content.pic”+i, \_x, \_root.w); \_root.w += 400; } stop();

thanks to all
