Hi!  
I’ve just moved from Flash MX to Flash 8.  
I’ve found out that when publishing with Flash 8 my previous MX’s working fla files, I get multiple errors.  
I’ve had a look at the Export publishing settings and I think they’re all correct:

- Exporting version: 8
- AS Version: 1.0  
So, I guess it must be a silly thing I’m doing wrong but after a long while I haven’t been able to know what’s wrong. Perhaps AS compatibility is not that accurate?

The most common error I get is:  
“_A ‘)’ or ‘,’ was expected_” or  
“_An unexpected ‘}’ was found_”  
(I’m using Spanish Flash 8, so I don’t know if this is the exact message you’re given in English Flash 8) 😉

The ‘supposed to be wrong’ code seems to be in lines like  
[AS].posicion = posicion+eval(“abc” add i)+gap;  
abc=eval("\_parent.\_parent.abc" add \_parent.n)[/AS]

and I even get a “_Declaration must be inside a on/onClipEvent controller_” here:[AS].\_xscale=abc\*1.4;[/AS] …while ALL of this code worked perfectly in Flash MX, I get up to 104 errors in Flash 8.

Any help please?  
Thank you very much.
