Hi,

I’m stuck trying to incorporate this little menu i found on flashkit. Problem is it’s written in Flash 6 and i need it running in Flash 8.

I’ve been tryin to figure out whet the problem is, i can see that the value of this equasion:

Xspeed = ((\_x-newX)/\_root.velocita+Xspeed)/\_root.frenata;

comes out as NaN in Flash 8.

I cant fix it myself, i would greatly appreciate any help. I’m uploading the fla i donwloaded of flashkit aswell.

Thanks in advance.

it means the answer is not a number, check that all the variables are correct, ie they are numbers

Thanks random,

I know what NaN stands for, i just cant figure out why thats the result (Flash 8 only mind You, works fine in Flash 6)

Anyway, after initializing Xspeed with 0 thats the trace i get from this variable after that assign. All variables involved are numbers. Heres a trace:

Xspeed :0  
newX :184.5  
\_root.velocita :1.6  
\_root.frenata :2  
\_x :184.5

I’m lost 😕

Thats strange. For my resaving as Flash 8 screws up the whole thing. And aye, i’m changing the export settings to Player 8.

That shouldn’t be the case.

I guess reinstall flash./ Download latest flash player and shockwave players.

reference: My file goes from 80kbs to 84kbs due to the transfer.

Heres the flash 8 version I rendered out. Could just be the transfer which mucks it up.

Might be something faulty with flash File Exention Management _shrugs_

…

you would probably have to disable the mouse icon,

but monitor its movements

and place a mouse icon of you own on screen than only followed Y or X movement of the real mouse
